Residential Properties
For residential properties, water / sewer charges are based on consumption in accordance with the schedule below. Each property owner is issued a bill every three months for the previous three months use. Current water and sewer use charges are not shown on the real estate tax bill. It is only when a water / sewer bill is delinquent that it is added to a tax bill.
If delinquent charges are added to the tax bill, the charges become part of the tax and constitute a lien.
Commercial Properties
For commercial properties, water / sewer chargers are based on consumption in accordance with the schedule. Commercial property bills are issued monthly.
