Payment Options

We offer a variety of convenient payment options to suit your lifestyle. Explore your options.

We no longer offer extensions on bills. However, accounts will not be considered delinquent and eligible for water service disconnection until 90 days past the bill date. Please note if payment is not received within 75 days past the bill date, a $1.50 late fee will be applied.

If full payment of the delinquent balance is not made within 90 days past the bill date, a $20 delinquent fee will be assessed and the account will be eligible for water service disconnection.
