Utility Billing

Bills are issued approximately the 10th of each month and are due the first of the following month. UTILITY CHARGES BECOME A LIEN UPON THE PROPERTY SERVED AS SOON AS THEY ARE INCURRED.  Past due bills are subject to disconnect.  If the water is disconnected for non-payment, it will not be turned back on until the bill is paid in full plus a $60 reconnect fee.

Your can will be delivered and positioned as it needs to be for collection.  The handle and the wheels on the can must face away from the street, so that the can opens facing the truck.  There needs to be at least a 3'-4' clearance around can for our automated truck to empty can.  Please be sure to have your can in this location by 6:00 a.m. on your day of service.  Be sure to keep the lid closed.  Your can may be used for normal bagged household waste, cut up or broken down boxes, and bagged yard clippings.  Please do not use your can for the following: Ashes, Rocks, Construction Debris, Dirt, Concrete, Oil, Paint, Chemicals, Auto Parts, or Dead Animals.  Be sure that you do not overfill your can, as the truck will be unable to empty the can completely.
