Billings and
Collections
|
|
Billing is calculated on a quarterly basis. The water billing quarters are January-March, April-June, July-September, and October-December. The water bill includes a meter service fee, based on the size of your meter, and any usage charged at $6.33 per thousand gallons. The sewer billing quarters are February-April, May-July, August-October, and November-January. Sewer is billed in advance while the water is billed after completion of the quarter. It is the responsibility of the property owner to make all payments when due, whether a bill is received or not.
Prior to turning on water service, a $35.00 service fee is required. You must contact our office to make arrangements to have the water service turned on.
