We accept Mastercard, VISA, American Express and Discover cards for payment. Please remember anytime (online or in person) a credit/debit card is used there is a $4 merchant fee. Monthly automatic charges to credit cards are also available.
Utility bills will be mailed on the last business day of each month, and bill payments must be received in the Utility offices or dropbox by no later than 5pm on the 15th day of each month. If the 10th falls on a weekend or holiday, payments must be received by no later than 5pm on the next business day. Payments by mail must be postmarked on or before the 10th day of the month.
Any account not paid in full on or before the 10th of each month will have a 10% late fee assessed, based on the current billing amount. The full account balance must be paid no later than the last business day of the month to avoid disconnection of electric service.
