Billing and Payment Due Dates
Water bills are issued quarterly and are mailed on or before the first day of the billing month. Payments must be received by the Treasurer’s Office by the 20th of the month.
A 1% late fee will be added to any unpaid balance each month after the due date. Allow enough time for your payment to be processed, as late fees cannot be waived.
Please note: Mortgage escrow accounts do not pay water bills. You are responsible for paying your water bill directly.
