​​​Billing FAQs

Can I pay online? 
Yes. When invoices are emailed, a link to the online payment system is provided. If you would like to receive invoices via email, please contact our office.


Will I receive an invoice for my usage or do I have to calculate it myself?
The District will generate an invoice for all accounts that submit meter readings no later than 30 days after the end of the quarter. If you have not submitted your meter readings by that time, an invoice will not be generated until the next quarter.

Is there a penalty if I do not submit my meter readings on time?
Yes, a late fee of $50 per billing account is assessed automatically.  You may also be charged penalties for a major violation for failing to submit meter readings within the required time-frame. The first violation fee is $500. The fee for a second violation within 3 years is $1000. A third violation within 3 years can result in a civil suit and additional penalties. Details on this can be found in Appendix A in the District Rules.

What is the current fee schedule? How much will I owe?

How do I report my meter readings?
Please visit report usage page for information on reporting your usage to the District.

Are there late fees if I do not pay my bill on time?

What if I feel my bill is not accurate?
Please call the District office at (855) 426-4433 to discuss any potential errors on billing or on submitted meter readings. The District can only correct errors we are made aware of, so please do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have regarding your billing.
