Usage bills are due 15 days after the mailing date. A 10% penalty is a required part of payment after the due date. When a payment has not been received, a notice of delinquency is mailed within 3 days after the due date. Five days after the mailing of the notice of delinquency, services can be discontinued if all fees have not been paid.

During the quarterly readings of water use, members of this department watch for abnormally high usage, which may indicate a water leak. When a condition has been noted, as a courtesy the customer is notified by phone; or a high usage alert notice is mailed. Customers are encouraged to contact the water office if they have a reason to suspect a leak.
