Your Water Bill

All water bills are processed at the end of the month and sent out on the last day of the month. Depending upon your local postal service delivery schedule, you should receive your water bill around the 4th or 5th of each month.

The due date for the water bill is on the 22nd of each month. If your bill is paid after the 22nd you will be subject to a late fee. Late notices are sent out on the 15th of each month. If you are 60 days past due then shut-offs and collections are generally done on the 25th of each month.

For Non-Payment guidelines, please see section 5, Article XI, Benefits and Duties of Members of the By-laws.
