Consistency & Predictability

Avoid seasonal peaks in your water bills by dividing payments evenly over the course of 11 months. This plan makes it easy to budget and pay your monthly water bill because the payment will always be the same.

Budget Billing has 11 "budget" months and 1 "recalculation" month each year. During each "budget" month, your bill will show the installment amount (due by the payment due date on your bill). The Budget installment amount is established based on past water usage patterns at your service location.  Your bill will also show the amount of your actual water use for that month. Periodically, we will review your Budget installment amount and, if necessary, recalculate your monthly payment based on your actual (lower or higher) water use.

Participation Requirements:

  • 12-month customer usage history at current residence
  • Acceptable payment record for last 12- months
    • No more than (1) returned payment
    • No more than (3) late payments
    • No more than (1) disconnect for late or non-payment
  • Late penalties will be added to the normal monthly statement and are due immediately.  
  • In April, the account will be recalculated, and balances/credits will rollover into the next year's calculation.  In either case, interest WILL NOT be accrued or paid. 

Loss of budget billing privilege and service termination will occur upon:

  • Non-payment of monthly invoice by due date
  • Non-payment of incurred penalties by due date
  • Two late payment penalties in a 12-month period
  • The determination of the City for any failures to keep account current.
