When you come in, a welcome packet is provided with useful information, policies and more. All of these items must be received before water will be serviced.
Bill Due Dates
Utility bills are due the 10th of each month, all payments received after the due date will be assessed a penalty of 5% of the balance due. If the 10th falls on a weekend or holiday, utility bills will be due by 8am the first business day following the 10th to avoid late fees.
