Water & Wastewater Bills

Billing Information

The July water/sewer bills, for the billing period of April through June, were mailed out on Friday, July 3rd, 2026. Payment is due by Tuesday, August 4th, 2026.

If you would like to enroll in direct debit utility bill payment, please complete the Direct Debit Authorization form (PDF) as directed and return it to the Town Clerk & Treasurer's office. If you are not interested in Direct Debit, there are other payment options available. 

Water/Sewer bills are mailed quarterly, in early January, April, July, October, and are due 30 days thereafter. Penalties of 10% are applied to water and 8% to sewer after the due date. Payment must be received by 5:00 pm on the due date.

Rates (effective July 1, 2026)

Water Usage Rate = Base $39.95/unit/quarter + Usage $4.64/1000 gallons

Sewer Usage Rate = Base $49.17/unit/quarter + Usage $5.50/1000 gallons

Non-Metered Water = $104.75 flat rate

Non-Metered Sewer = $134.61 flat rate

(Usage, as printed on each bill, is in 1000’s of gallons. For example, a usage of "9" means 9,000 gallons were used. In this example, to calculate your water rate, you would multiply the usage fee $4.64 by 9 ($41.76) and add the base rate of $39.95/unit for a water total of $81.71. Use this same formula to calculate your sewer rate.)

The water usage rate has increased as of July 1, 2026, effective in the next utility billing cycle to be mailed out in October 2026.
