Utility bills will go out in the mail later this week and will include the new 2024 utility rates for both water and sewer. Additionally the past due penalty will be reinstated starting January 2024. Payments must be received by the 25th of the month to avoid paying a 10% past due penalty. Please contact our office if you are interested in setting up automatic payments from a checking or savings account.
