To insure you an accurate bill, we ask that you read your water meter every month. If you do not read your meter you are "estimated", and if estimated too high, you pay more.

As with any other utility bill, we expect payment in full each month. If our office hours are inconvenient for you, we do have a Night Deposit in rear entrance of the building.

PERMITS

Village Ordinances were developed to treat all people and similar property equally. Permits are needed to keep "fairness" between neighbors throughout the Village.

Fences, sheds, pools, pool houses, and garages all require permits. There is a nominal cost applied to these permits.
