Utility Billing

Utility Billing Division prides itself on providing excellent customer service to our residents. Each month the City sends 3,600 utility bills for Water, Sewer and Garbage Service. Customers have the option to pay online; via telephone and in person. The City accepts cash, checks as well as credit cards for payment. Residents are able to connect or disconnect water service; change their garbage services, etc. at City Hall, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.

Utility Service

Utility bills for water, sewer and garbage services are prepared and sent out on or near the last working day of each month. The bills are due and payable upon receipt, and become delinquent on the 26th day of each month. (If the 26th falls on a weekend, the bill is delinquent the following business day.) A 10% penalty charge is assessed on all delinquent bills. Water service is disconnected if the bill has not been paid by the 45th day after the billing date. A disconnect fee ($75 as of October 2014) is assessed if your water service is disconnected due to nonpayment.

Customers are responsible for monthly payments on their accounts. If your utility bill is not received in the mail, please contact the City at 831-674-5591 to obtain a copy and provide payment. If you move, you must come to city hall to have your service discounted. You are responsible for the account from the day you receive service to the day you request disconnection.
