A monthly bill will arrive around the 1st of each month and must be paid by 10:00 a.m. on the first business day following the 15th to avoid penalty charges.

Penalty Charge

The penalty on gas is 10% of the charge, and all remaining services have a 5% penalty.

Utility Level-Pay Plan

May is sign-up month.  The levelized amount is determined by averaging the customer's last 12 months' utility bills.  The months to be averaged are:  January through May of the current year and June through December of the prior year.  The level pay amount is valid for 11 months and every May the account is balanced and re-averaged for the next plan year.  Details and sign-up forms are available at City Hall.

Paperless Billing

Also for your convenience, complete the Electronic Billing Application to have your utility bill emailed to you.  Return the completed form to the City Clerk's Office. The form can also be mailed to P.O. Box 312 or placed in one of the payment drop boxes.  The Electronic Billing Application is available by clicking the link below.
