Billing
Water and Sewer billings are divided into two (2) areas. Each area will receive a bi-monthly bill, approximately every sixty (60) days. The amounts are based on the amount of water consumed between readings. This represents actual water amounts that went through your meter. Fees and rates are reviewed annually and approved by Council.
