Billing Cycle

  • 25th of the month: Bills are mailed.

  • 10th of the month: Bills are due.  A 10% penalty is added onto bills paid after the 10th.

  • 13th of the month: Cutoff notices mailed with a specified disconnection date.

  • Monthly disconnection: Service disconnected for non-payment of past due bill - additional non-payment penalty of $50 will be charged.

The last day to pay your past due bill is the last Tuesday of each month before 5:00pm. If you are past this deadline you will need to pay your past due balance plus $50.

If your water has been shut off due to nonpayment and you pay your bill after 4:00, you will not get your water turned back on until the next business day.
