Utility Rates

Understanding your bill

Utility bills contain water, sewer, trash, primacy fee and taxes. Utility rates are developed as a part of the cost of service and rate studies. These studies analyze operational and capital costs to determine the revenue requirements for each utility.

Billing Information

Meters are read around the 27th of each month and bills are mailed the last day. Utility bills are due on the 20th of each month by 5:00 p.m.
