When is my utility bill due?

Just a Little Reminder

We have changed the utility bill due dates.

The bills will now be due from the 5th thru 15th of each month.

After the 15th a 10% penalty will be added to your bill if not paid.

All bills with penalty have to be paid by the 25th of the month.

The drive thru window will only be open from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM the 5th thru 15th also.
