Billing Cycle:
Residential customers are billed bi-monthly. Large consumer/commercial customers are billed monthly. All bills are due upon receipt and payment must be received before 5:00 p.m. twenty-one days after the billing date. A ten percent penalty is added to current charges on the twenty-second day after the billing date. Failure to receive a bill does not excuse the penalty charge.
Timeline for the Utility Billing Process:
Day One - Bill is Mailed
Day Twenty-One - Current Amount Due
Day Twenty-Two - Penalty Added
Day Thirty - Reminder Notice Mailed
Day Thirty-Five - Shut-off Notice Delivered
Day Thirty-Seven - Termination of Service
Water and Sewer Rates and Minimum Charge:
Water and sewer rates are based on usage of 1,000 gallons. Water is billed at $4.49 per 1,000 gallons used while sewer charges are $1.00 per 1,000 gallons billed. The minimum bi-monthly bill is based on 3,000 gallons and is billed at $16.47.

Shut-off Procedure:
If payment is not received by 5:00 p.m. thirty-four days after the billing date, a shut off notice will be sent notifying you that the water service will be terminated within forty-eight hours. Failure to submit payment within the prescribed timeline will result in termination of water service. In this event, a turn-on fee of $50 - $75 will be applied to have service restored.
Returned Checks:
A $25.00 service charge is applied per check that is returned and not honored by our bank. Each account is then subject to immediate shut-off procedure.
