Important Billing Information
Due Date: All current bills are due by the due date listed on the front of your utility bill. If the bill is not paid by the due date listed on the front of the bill an automatic 10% late charge will be added to the past due balance and the total balance becomes due and payable. If a past due amount is shown on the bill, the full amount due must be paid or service will be disconnected without further notice. Additional charges will apply for restoration of service and any other costs incurred.
Schedule of fees (after due date):
- 1st day: past due amount plus current amount must be paid in full.
- Day of cut off: balance in full plus a $50.00 service charge must be paid.
If Water Service Has Been Disconnected: Service will be restored between 8:45 AM and 5:00 PM; Monday through Friday. Payments received after 4:30 PM will be restored the next business day.
Service Charge for Sewer Blockages: In the event of blockage in customers’ sewer line, the customer must first contact a plumber. If the City is called to respond and finds a blockage in customers’ sewer line, a service charge of $250.00 will be charged and is due and payable at time of services.
Tampering of Water Meter: Any unauthorized persons tampering with a water meter; which is declared unlawful, will incur, in addition to any deposits, a minimum fee of $100.00 (plus the cost of meter and related expenses, if damaged). (Code 1976, 14-28)
