QUARTERLY WATER/SEWER AND GARBAGE BILLINGS

Water meters are read quarterly around the 15th and mailed by the end of the same month. A late charge of 2% is assessed after 30 days on all unpaid accounts. The minimum fee is $30 per residential/commercial unit for 6,000 gallons of water for in-town customers and $40.50 per unit for 6,000 gallons for out-of town customers. The minimum fee for sewer is $60 per unit in-town for 6,000 gallons and $75 per unit for 6,000 gallons for out-of-town customers.

In-town water consumption over the 6,000 gallon minimum is charged at $2.40 ($3.60 out-of-town) per 1,000 gallons up to a total of 20,000 gallons, and $3.60 per 1,000 gallons up to 100,000 gallons. Sewer overage is charged at the same rates as water.

A $5 quarterly maintenance fee per unit will be charged in addition to the consumption charges.

If your consumption appears to be too high, please check for water leaks such as running toilets, etc. If you still feel there is a problem with your consumption, please call the town office and the reading will be rechecked. If your master meter is found defective your consumption is billed on an average use over the past year's consumption.

The $82 per unit Silo Hill deed covenant special assessment fee will still be billed in full on July 1st.

NEW COLLECTION DAYS: MONDAY AND THURSDAY.

Garbage will be billed quarterly in the amount of $31. *** This fee does not include the tonnage fee charged to the town by the county for using the landfill. Once monthly weight verifications are received from the garbage collector, there will be a "landfill charge" added to this amount equally divided among all garbage customers. This amount is billed on your quarterly water and sewer billing. RECYCLING HELPS REDUCE THE AMOUNT CHARGED FOR LANDFILL!
