Meters are read quarterly around the first week of February, May, August and November.

Unfortunately, our policy is that bills go directly to property owners, but you can call to get the amount due.

My water bill is higher than normal, why and what should I do?
High usage can be due to a number of instances.  Additional showers, laundry, company, car washing, garden watering could cause an increase.  If no additional use is easily explained, check toilets.  Often time toilets may be running (flap not closing after flushing) longer than usual. Toilets are out of sight out of mind, we recommend checking them first. If you do receive a bill that is out of the ordinary please feel free to contact the Public Works Department to discuss additional solutions. 802-878-1239.
