Utility Billing Information

Water and sewer bills are rendered bi-monthly and become due and payable within 20 days. A late payment charge of 3% but not less than $.50 will be added to bills not paid within 20 days of issuance.  This one-time 3% late payment charge will be applied only to any unpaid balance for the current billing period’s usage. Any unpaid balance on November 15 of each year will be placed on the tax roll and become a lien against the property. (Failure to receive bill does not exempt customer from penalty.)
