Frequently Asked Questions
Quarterly billing dates are March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31. During the third quarter (July, Aug., Sept.) the residential sewer service charge is adjusted to allow for summer sprinkling. Adjustment is based on water used during the first two quarters of the year. See summer sprinkling for details.
Delinquent bills are subject to a penalty, bills unpaid by a previous occupant are held as a lien against the property. If you are using electronic payments to pay your water bill make sure your bank is allowing enough time for the payment to arrive in the mail before the bill due date. On-line banking payments dont satisfy late payment. If payment is received after the due date the property owner will receive a Disconnect Notice that service will be terminated until the balance of the bill plus a late payment penalty and reconnect charge are paid at the Miller Road office by noon on the turn-off day. Dont turn on the water yourself. Tampering with equipment of a public utility will result in a fine and is considered a felony. Our Collection & Distribution Department will schedule a maintenance person to restore service once the bill and all fees and fines are paid. Better yet! Why not pay your water and sewer bill the safe, convenient way with automatic payment from your checking account. See Auto-Pay for details.
