Utility Information
Water bills are sent out on a quarterly basis, i.e. March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1. We again stress the importance of phoning your reading into our office promptly when a green card is left at your door. Not only does this facilitate a correc t billing, but could serve to identify a possible water leak.
Meter readings are also essential if a resident/tenant is vacating or moving into a residence so that interim billings reflect a correct share of water consumption.
Landlords are also reminded that should a tenant vacate and leave an outstanding water bill, the landlord is responsible for payment. In some cases, water bills are mailed/delivered to the tenant for convenience purposes only. However, every effort is mad e to keep the landlord updated on the status of the account.
Please let us know if you plan on going away for an extended period of time. We can provide payment and meter reading alternatives.
