Employees may receive a copy of their statement upon request at the Clerk/Treasurer's Office.
NON-PAYMENT SHUT OFF POLICY
All original water bills are due within 30-days. Water bills in arrears greater than 30-days are subject to receiving a past due notice and interest charges as described in the rate schedule. The following actions will be taken after the past due notice is received:
1. If the bill is still outstanding 75 days after the original invoice and no contact is made to arrange for a payment, a letter of termination of water service is sent.
2. If payment is not received as previously described, you will receive a red-door knocker/termination notice with a final payment due date.
3. On the day the service is to be terminated, a Water Department Technician will attempt to provide verbal notice to any occupant of the premises that service will be terminated.
4. A service charge as defined in the rate schedule shall be assessed for any unpaid balance due. Any customer, prior to the termination of service, may agree to a written payment plan with the Water Department to avoid shut-off provided the account is not in default of a current payment plan.
