- April, May, and June usage – Billed in the month of July
- July, August, and September usage – Billed in the month of October
- October, November and December usage – Billed in the month of January
Bills are due and payable within 30 days of issue. Late payments are subject to a $10.00 demand charge. Interest will be charged at 14% per annum on any payment not received by the Collector’s Office by the due date. Postmarks are not accepted. Continued failure to pay will result in water service being terminated. Unpaid water and sewer charges will be liened on the following year’s real estate tax bill.
