Water and Sewer Billings

Please note that 100% of water and sewer expenses are recovered by direct billings to the water and sewer system users.

If your property has access to the municipal water service, your property has been assessed a portion of the capital construction costs of the water treatment plant. If either you or the previous property owner opted to pay this capital water charge (“CWC”) over several years, you will notice a "CWC" charge on your final property tax bill. This charge will remain constant until the debenture is paid in 2026.

There are four utility bills processed yearly, normally mailed to water users at the end of January, April, July, and October. Please notify the Municipal Office if you have not received your bill.
