Other Billing Information
Monthly Billing Cycle :
The District reads all
customer water meters with existing staff every month. The schedule for
reading each meter varies slightly as the District is divided into multiple
billing controls in which meters are read and accounts billed during the month.
Water and sewer service charges (if applicable) are itemized and combined on
the same bill. Please give our customer service staff a call with any
questions regarding your account.
