Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to read my meter?
No, unless it is not accessible to the meter readers.  You most certainly can if you wish to and write the reading in the boxes located at the top of your bill.

Am I required to pay late fees?
If your account has a balance after the 20th of the month, you will be required to pay a late fee. Bills are mailed the last working day of each month to allow customers about 3 weeks to pay their bill and avoid late fees.

Can I pay my bill online?
Not currently.

Why does the water taste and smell different?
A natural occurrence in all surface water supplies, an "algal bloom," is responsible for the taste and odor changes in the water supply. Algal blooms usually occur in late July and into August each year. An algae bloom does not affect the safety of the drinking water.

What would cause my water bill to be much higher than usual?
If your water usage seems high, it is probably the result of unusually high usage or a leak. The main culprit for high usage is irrigation. Be sure that you are watering only when necessary. Another reason for a water bill could be a leak. Turn off all the sources of water (faucets, dishwashers, etc.), then look at your water meter. If the meter is still moving, you may have a leak.
