Water bills are due quarterly on the 1st of the month, June, September, December & March. A 15% penalty is added to current balances still due after the 28th of the billing month. An additional $15.00 penalty is added after the 10th of the following month to outstanding balances. If a balance remains on the 13th of that month, water service will be discontinued beginning at noon that day. No prior notice will be given.
