Billing Questions Checklist: If you have a question about your water bill, there are several things you should consider before calling the Town Office:

  • If there is a significant increase, you could have a leak.
  • Keep past bills so you can compare your usage from billing period to billing period.
  • Have your account number ready.
  • Keep in mind that your September bill will probably be higher than the one you received in July because it covers the summer months when you are washing cars and watering lawns and flowers.

Payment Plans for Financial Difficulty: If you are having financial difficulties, please call the Town Office immediately to set up a payment plan. Do not wait until the day of water cut off to call us. We are very willing to work out a payment schedule with you. We do request that the payments be divided so that the bill is paid in full before the next billing period.
