Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Billing

We bill once a month. Our billing system is based on usage. Therefore, you must use the water before we bill for it. Your bill will be based on the prior month’s usage. Your minimum monthly bill will always be at least $25.00 for the first 2,000 gallons and then charged at a metered rate of $3.50 per 1000 gallons of water used after that. We send late notices as a courtesy, but any account past due is subject to disconnection. Any water account that is past due may be assessed a $50.00 delinquent fee and potentially cut off without notice.
