RATES & FEES
WASTEWATER SERVICE CHARGE

You may pay your bill by:


US Mail
In person at the District offices.  Presently we accept Cash and
Checks only.


The District offers two billing features.

1. The first feature
allows users to prepay the estimated annual cost
of sanitary sewer service. This opportunity is offered once a year,
starting in June. Taking advantage of this annual payment plan
reduces your cost, and ensures that you will not be assessed late
charges. These annual bills are based on your history of water
consumption in the previous year.

2. The second feature automatically goes into effect if you choose
to not pay the Annual Rate.  Residents will then receive a quarterly bill
with the first quarter beginning in June and Commercial and Industrial
properties will be billed monthly beginning in June.

Past Dues
The District uses several methods to collect on past due accounts.  
We normally try to work with our customers that are having a hard
time making payments.  After several unsuccessful attempts are made
a lien may be filed against the property. For seriously delinquent
accounts, water service may be terminated or the sewer connection
may be plugged.

If you are planning to sell your property, please be sure that you, or

through the closing date are properly allocated. If you are a resident

the City or Village , and the they will in turn advise the District or,
