Each June past-due accounts are sent to the County Tax Assessor for certification after properly notifying the property owner. This means that the amounts due will be added to the annual property tax bill. We do not recommend paying your bill in this manner. A 10% administration fee is charged upon certification. These sewer charges, late fees and administration fees are not deductible as property taxes for your IRS federal tax return.
Our business customers are billed on the amount of water that is used. Generally, we can ascertain this amount from the water billed by one of the local municipal water vendors. If you are on a well, we may require that you install a water meter so that the monthly invoice can be accurately determined.
Business sewer charges are based on the amount of water that is used. If a large amount of water is used for irrigation or other purposes that will not affect sewer services, you may wish to consider installing a separate water meter. Such a meter will measure the water used for that purpose, which will be subtracted from your total water consumption. Call us at 541-664-6300 for details.
