Charges

The utility bill charges consist of:

• Water
• Sewer
• Sanitation
• Stormwater
• Miscellaneous Fees (i.e., special trash pick-ups, frozen meter charges, surcharges, etc.)

There is always a utility bill associated with a property in the city limits. Properties with water turned off will still incur a stormwater fee.

Billing Process

Customers receive utility bills every month. Bills are mailed or e-mailed at the end of each month are due on the 15th of the month. 

While the account is in their name, customers are responsible for all billings.
