Water bill payments are due by the 15th of each month. Late fees (10 %) go into effect on the next business day. If your water bill is not paid by the 25th by 10:00am, you will accrue a reconnect fee of $50.00 as well as disconnection of services. The total past due bill and the $50.00 reconnect fee are due before the water services can be reconnected. If any of the due dates fall on a Friday, weekend or holiday, the due date will move to the next business day.
I would like to get water service at a residence/business. What should I do?
To have the water turned on at an address, you will need to provide the following:
1. Water Application, Water Application (Spanish) (4 pages)
2. Copy of proof of ownership/lease agreement
3. Copy of driver's license or ID of applicant(s)
4. $200.00 deposit (3% card fee will be added if paying by debit or credit card)
Water services can be connected during regular business hours before 3:30pm.
The city accepts the following types of payments: cash, check, money order, and credit or debit card (for a 3% card fee) in the office. Water bills can also be paid online with a Visa or MasterCard (for a 3.5% fee) at
The Payment Group. If you schedule payments through your bank or a third-party, please note that they may not mail the payment the same day that you schedule it, and you may accrue a late fee if payment is not received before the due date.
Because it is not possible to calculate wastewater/sewer usage, the city takes an average of the water usage for December, January, and February, as these typically have the lowest water usage. The residential sewer rate is a base minimum of $20.00, with $3.50 per thousand gallons over 2,000 gallons. That rate is then applied to your water bill for the next year.
WATER is calculated from your usage each month. The charges are $30.00 for the first 2,000 gallons and $8.05 per thousand gallons over the minimum.
WASTEWATER is calculated from a yearly re-averaging of water usage for the months of December, January, and February. The charges are $20.00 for the first 2,000 gallons and $3.50 per thousand gallons over the minimum. This fee is the same throughout the year until the next re-averaging. New residents have a $20.00 wastewater/sewer fee until the re-averaging.
GARBAGE is a set fee of $15.50 per month. This increases with the number of garbage canisters or for businesses.
TAX is based on your garbage rate at 7.5%.
