Customer billings are calculated on water usage between meter readings. Metered residential customers are billed the minimum charge during the winter months until meter reading is resumed in April. The readings taken in April will allow water use of up to 6 times the max usage included in the minimum charge for six month period between the October and April readings. Usage above 6 times the max usage included in the minimum charge during the winter billing periods will be subject to the excess use charge of $0.611 per 1,000 gallons. The billing cycle during the winter will begin the 16th of the month through the 15th of the next calendar month. Statements are mailed on the 25th of each month. All billings are due by the 15th day of the month following the billing date.
*Minimum charge is not a pro-ratable charge.
Your water service can be disconnected for (1) non-payment of delinquent bills, (2) failure to abide by the terms of a payment arrangement, (3) fraudulent or unauthorized use of service, or (4) violation of utility rules.
Notice of proposed termination will be sent at least one week prior to the proposed termination date. If more than twenty-one days elapse after the proposed termination date before the actual date, then an additional 24-hour notice will be attempted.
Termination of service can be stopped or delayed by correcting the delinquency, making reasonable payment arrangements, certifying that a medical emergency exists, or filing a complaint with the Idaho public utilities Commission.
Customers having difficulty paying their water bill should contact us to make payment arrangements. Following a payment plan will prevent termination of service on delinquent accounts.
