When do I get my utility bill?
Utility bills are issued every three months. Items on the bill include water, sewer, and garbage fees.
How is my water bill determined?
Your water bill is made up of a base fee of $36.80 per quarter plus $3.68 for every 100 cubic feet of water used above 1,000 cubic feet.
How is my sewer bill determined?
Your Sewer Bill is 27.1% of your water charges with a minimum of $9.98 per quarter.
How is my garbage bill determined?
Your garbage bill is divided into three parts: GARB ADV (Garbage Advance), DISPOS/ADM (Disposal Administration), and YARD WASTE (you guessed it). Garbage Advance is the fee for the trash hauler, Groot Disposal. It is paid in advance for your weekly collection. Disposal Administration covers the Village's costs for special pickups such as Spring Clean Up and autumn Leaf Pick Up. We break down the yearly charge and bill each resident quarterly even though the pick up is seasonal. Yard Waste pays for weekly pick up of yard waste such as lawn cuttings, weeds, and leaves. If you are to be away from the Village for 30 days or more, please notify the Cashier's Office to place a hold on refuse charges.
What if I'm away and I can't pay my bill on time?
The Village allows one late payment without a penalty per 12 month period, however, to avoid that late payment penalty, payments must be made to the Cashier's Office in person within 10 days of the due date. If you are going to be more than 10 days late you must contact Village Hall.
When can I fill my pool and water my lawn?
Village ordinance regulates lawn watering between May 15 and September 15. Lawn watering, the filling of swimming pools, and watering of new sod is not allowed between the hours of noon and 6 p.m. daily. The watering of lawns is permitted daily during the remaining hours. There are no restrictions for gardens, shrubs or car washing.
What do I do with leaves and other yard waste?
Residents are requested to take advantage of the no-tag yardwaste program for one and two family dwellings. Just as for vines, brush and grass clippings, leaves can be placed either in paper bags or in properly marked yardwaste containers and will be picked up by refuse hauler during garbage collection days.
