WATER AND SEWER BILLS

• Utility bills are mailed bi‐monthly on even months (Feb, Apr, Jun, Aug, Oct, Dec)  
• The Town code requires that all properties with water connections are to be billed a minimum charge even if service is turned off or no water is used for a billing cycle.
• The payment due date is stated on the front of the bill. Failure to receive a bill does not entitle the customer to pay without a penalty. The Town is not responsible for failure of the US Postal Service to deliver bills.
• Bill payment is due on the 1st day of odd months (Jan, Mar, May, Jul, Sep, Nov)
• All new accounts are charged an initial handling fee of $20 on the first utility billing cycle.  
• Fixed service charges apply on every bi‐monthly utility bill based on meter size.  
• Tiered rate fees apply based on gallons used.    
• Sewer charges are based on water consumption.  
• The Town reserves the right to estimate utility bills when it is not possible to read the meters due to inclement weather or other reasons.

• Delinquent Accounts-The property owner is responsible for timely payment of water and sewer fees and charges (Code of Virginia §15.2-2119). Landlords are responsible for delinquent balances owned by tenants. After notification, the Town will shut off the water service to delinquent accounts. The connection will not be reestablished until all fees and charges, including the disconnection fee, are paid in full. The Town also utilizes other delinquent collection action including a collection agency and the Virginia Set-Off-Debt program in which the Town may claim the taxpayer’s State Income Tax Refunds. The taxpayer will be responsible for collection costs.
