Meters are read on a monthly basis and bills are calculated the beginning of each month. Customers have 20 days from the date the bills are mailed to make payments before they are assessed a 10% penalty fee on the current charges. Payments can be made by mail, at City Hall from 8:00 A.M. to 4:30 P.M., at the drop-off box located at the Police Department entrance, or if a customer chooses, by use of the automatic bankdraft method of payment.

        All persons requesting residential or commercial water service from the City must make written application for the same through the Utility Office on the proper form provided. Applications for utility service by tenants will be accepted only when accompanied by a contract with the landlord plus a $150.00 security deposit.

        Services disconnected for non-payment cannot be restored until such time as the account is paid in full including a $50.00 turn-on/turn-off fee. Meters are the property of the City and are not to be turned off or on except by authorized city employees. Tampering or damaging a city water meter is illegal and the customer is responsible for the fines/costs associated with such activity.
