Water Usage Rate Increase

Effective January 1, 2006 there will be a water rate increase of 15 cents per 1000 gallons. This will reflect on your January usage bill, which should be to you around February 1, 2006.

The following is a copy of some of the information the District has recently started to present to new customers of the Water District. We thought that it would be good to forward it to all existing customers as well.

Billing Schedule

Bills are mailed by the last day of the month. The customer has the responsibility for contacting the Water District if the customer does not receive the bill during the billing cycle or doesn't receive it at all.

Water bills are due and payable on the tenth (10th) day of the month and delinquent on the fifteenth (15th) day of the month for which service was rendered. Ten percent (10%) late charge will be assessed on all service bills not paid by 8:00 a.m. on the sixteenth (16th) day of the month. Failure of water user to pay bill by the first (1st) day of the second (2nd) month following the close of the period for which service was rendered shall result in the disconnection of the service.

Non-Payment Charges

Disconnect Charge: $25.00 Reconnect Charge: $25.00 TOTAL: $50.00

Broken/Cut Lock : $25.00

Based on number of incidents cost shall increase for customer multiplied by number of incidents.

Returned Checks: $20.00

Checks returned shall be charged a returned check charge. Any customer that has two (2) returned checks shall not be allowed to write checks to the District starting at the time the second returned check is received at the District Office.

Transfer Charge for transferring deposit: $10.00 (Additional charges may apply)

A customer moving from one unit to another within the District may transfer their deposit to the new address if new application is completed, all outstanding water bills are paid, customer does not have a history of delinquency, and has never been disconnected for non-payment. If such case, one deposit may be used for both old and new units for a maximum of five (5) working days to allow for cleaning and moving.

Leak Adjustment

Any leak on the customer's water installation is the customer's responsibility. Adjustments shall not be made on inactive accounts. A ONE-TIME leak adjustment may be given by the staff on bills $250.00 or greater on residential and by the Board of Directors on a case-by-case basis on business accounts. The District shall pay 50% of the water usage not including base rate, taxes or other fees on adjusted bill. The customer must sign a leak adjustment agreement. Additional leaks must be presented by the customer to the Board in writing for approval for subsequent adjustments.

Right to Inspect

Representatives of the District shall have the right at all times to enter upon the water user's premises to read and test meters, inspect piping, and to perform other duties for the maintenance and operation of service, or to remove its meters and equipment upon discontinuance of service by the water user.

No one but a District employee or person authorized by the District shall turn on water or shut off water from the District meter to any water user or to any property served by such meter, except in case of escaping water.

Utility Locates

The District is a member of MO ONE CALL. For location of facilities call 1-800-344-7483.
