Frequently Asked Questions

Billing

Utility invoices are mailed out on the 1st of each month.  Utility invoices include all city services - water, sewer and garbage.  Residents are not able to "pick and choose" services.  Residents are required to have all 3 services.

Invoices are due the 15th of each month.  Invoices are considered late if received after the 15th of the month and are subject to a $25.00 late fee which will be included on next month's invoice.

If full payment is not received by the 25th of the month. water will be shut off on the 26th - regardless of the day of the week.  To reconnect water service, full amount due PLUS a $150 reconnect must be paid.  If the Water Superintendent goes to shut the water off and resident has payment - full payment PLUS the $150 reconnect must be paid - even if the water is not shut off.  Any water turned back on after 5 p.m. during the week or anytime on weekends or holidays will be charged an additional $150.00

Please contact the Finance Officer or Water Supervisor if you have questions.
