Billing Procedures and Payment

Water and Sewer usage is billed once per month. Meters are manually read within the first 10 days of the month to determine water used for the previous 30 days. Bills are mailed on or around the 15th of each month. Therefore a bill produced May 15 will cover the service period for the majority of April and a few days of May.  

Bills are due upon presentation (City Municipal Code §13.04.080 B) as they invoice for water already consumed. The City's water and sewer invoices are always due on the 15th of the month and must be paid by the due date on the bill to avoid a penalty.

For your convenience, payment drop boxes are located at:

• In front of our Finance/Information Technology Department at 990 Palm, built into the brick wall on the right.
• The Parking Office located at 1260 Chorro Street.

Payments from payment drop boxes are posted to the account the following work day.
Payments made by mail are posted to accounts daily by 3 p.m.
Please do not deposit cash in the payment drop box. 
Please do not use the payment drop box for accounts subject to shut off.
