Utility Billing
All utility customers are required to complete an application for service in person at City Hall (310 S Broadway) during normal business hours before an account can be created. Proof of identiy is required along with a deposit that is refundable when the account is finaled. A New Customer Notice is provided at the time the account is created which has important information regarding billing, payment options, and other applicable fees.
Utility bills are mailed monthly; meters are read according to location within the City and due dates are determined by this cycle. For this reason, due dates cannot be changed.
Zone 1 utility bills are mailed on the 1st day of each month, and payment is due on the 20th of that month (this includes weekends and holidays). All unpaid accounts will be assessed a 10% penalty on the 21st and a late notice reminder will be mailed informing the customer that their service is past due and they are subject to disconnection. On the 26th, all unpaid accounts are assessed a $10.00 default payment fee and water meters will be turned off that day.
Zone 4 utility bills are mailed on the 15th day of each month, and payment is due on the 5th of the following month (this includes weekends and holidays). All unpaid accounts will be assessed a 10% penalty on the 6th and a late notice reminder will be mailed informing the customer that their service is past due and they are subject to disconnection. On the 11th, all unpaid accounts are assessed a $10.00 default payment fee and water meters will be turned off that day.
Sewer and trash service accounts will be discontinued as well for all unpaid accounts. Sewer lines are capped and a $250.00 disconnect fee is charged. To reactivate sewer service after payment of the utility bill and disconnect fee, a sewer tap permit must be obtained and a licensed plumber must make the actual reconnection to the city main.
