For Business Owners

Water & Sewer Service

To establish water and/or sewer service, you should fill out a water/sewer application available at Town Hall, or you may download one here. Please take the completed application and a deposit payment of $120 to Town Hall. Deposit must be paid in full before water and/or sewer service can begin. Deposits must be paid by cash or check only.

Your water and/or sewer bill is due the 15th of every month.

You can pay your water and/or sewer bill in Town Hall Monday-Friday from 8-5.

You may also mail your water and/or sewer bill in.

The Town only accepts cash and check payments. A monthly bank draft option is available. No credit cards, debit cards or payment over phone can be accepted. There is also a drop box (just inside the outer doors of Town Hall) that may be used for payment before or after hours. To sign up for bank drafts, please fill out the following form and return to Town Hall or mail in.
