Water and Sewer Bill Information

Water and sewer bills are based on the actual water usage for a given quarter. The water rates are based on the amount of water you use. The more water you use, the higher the rate. Each account has a water meter that measures usage.

A portion of the bill includes water and sewer service charges. Each residential and commercial property is assessed a number of units. A single family house is a 1 unit, a double family is 2 units, multiple units are charged per unit. For commercial properties each unit is charged.

As of January 1, 2023, rates for each unit, a customer pays $73.58 for water service charge and $62.25 for sewer service charge for a total of $135.83. Then assessed for water usage and sewer charge. ( Water Service $73.58 + Sewer Service $62.25 + $[water usage charge] + $[sewer usage charge] = total bill)

Your water meter is read quarterly.

Bills are mailed by January 1^st, April 1^st, July 1^st and October 1^st.

Customers have until the 15^th of those months to pay the bill.

After the 15^th of that month, 18% interest will be charged, it will revert back to the 1^st of that month.

Payments received on delinquent accounts are in the following manner:

Any interest on the account will be removed first.

Oldest delinquency will be removed second.
