Pay Your Bill

The District bills monthly, after the service has been provided.

Important Notice:
New rates in effect May 1, 2024 – Monthly Sewer User Bills will be $47.00 for all residential customers.
The increase will be reflected on your June 1, 2024 bill.
For more information view complete approved ordinance: Sewer User Ordinance 23-02 

Payment is due in the District office on the due date printed on the bill. The District allows 21 days for payment, calculated from the date the bills are mailed.

A 10% penalty will be added to all payments received after 11:59 pm on the due date.

Please call promptly to notify the office staff of any name or address corrections and notify the office staff if you are selling your home.

By Ordinance, the District only bills property owners. Renters will not receive bills. This is done to protect the property owner from adverse action being taken by the District as a result of non-payment of the sanitary sewer service bills by your tenant.
