Utility Billing

Billing

The city's utility billing division is responsible for the monthly billing and collection of water, sewer and electric services. All three services are billed on a single, monthly statement.

Billing, Cut-Off Deadlines

For billing purposes, City bills are mailed on the last working day of the month and charges cover services for the preceding month. Bills are due and payable upon receipt and will be considered delinquent if payment is not received on or before the end of business day on the 15th. The daily cut-off times for payments are:

  • Drop Box - 3:30pm
  • Kiosk, Online, Phone - 4:00pm
  • If the 15th day falls on a weekend or holiday, then payment is due the next business day.
