Water meters are read by the 8th of each month. Because the ground usually stays moist here there is usually mud/dirt over the meter. Our meter readers know just where the meter dials are so they do not always clean out where the meter is. They can move just enough mud/dirt to see the reading.

All utility bills are due by the 10th of each month, after the 10th a 10% late fee will be assessed. Services will be disconnected on the 4th Wednesday of each month at 10:00 a.m. For the water to be reconnected on that day, payment must be in before 3:30 p.m. Each bill that remains unpaid will have to pay a $25.00 reconnect fee. As a courtesy to the public, the City will mail out disconnect notices.
For your convenience payments can be made by dropping them off in the Drop Box. Available 24 hours a day, it is located directly across the parking lot from the front door of City Hall. Payments can also be mailed, bank draft, or brought in person.
