How these numbers are made

Water: PWSD 1 of Greene County rates effective Oct. 1, 2026: $23.50 minimum (first 2,000 gallons) + $5.00 service charge + $0.44 primacy fee, then $5.00 per 1,000 gallons; sales tax not added.
Sewer: City of Battlefield $31.03 base + $5.59 per 1,000 gallons, modeled on water used (the city bills on a winter-average).
Property tax: Greene County 2026 levies for tax district 030 (Battlefield city, Springfield R-12 schools, Battlefield fire); part of Battlefield is in the Republic R-3 district (code 025), which has a different school levy. Assessed at 19% of the Census median value.
Electric: Ozark Electric single-phase $35 facilities charge + 10.6 cents + 0.07 cent PCA per kWh. Ozark Electric also charges $3.75 per kW demand, which is not modeled because no typical demand is published; usage uses the Springfield-area annual average. Parts of the area may be served by City Utilities or Liberty. Gas provider not established, so gas is omitted.
Trash: the city's Republic Services Preferred Provider Program, $15.80 per month added to the sewer bill, with recycling included; residents may instead choose any other hauler.
