We are required to obtain an application for service, which must be signed by the person responsible for payment.
We will make a photocopy of a picture I.D. for this person. A security deposit is also required for new customers.
This is $80 for water or $80 for sewer only service, or $160 for water and sewer service combined.

The application and deposit are the same regardless of whether you rent or own your home (or land), with two
exceptions. 1) We require the name and address of the landlord on the application, when the rentor applies for
service. 2) The time when your security deposit is refunded.

If you own your home and land, your security deposit is returned, with interest, after you have paid the final bill
when discontinuing your service, or after you have made 12 consecutive on time (no late charge) payments of your
bill. If you rent your home, your security deposit is returned, with interest, after you have paid the final bill when
discontinuing your service, regardless of how long you may rent.

We send out water/sewer bills monthly, for service received during the prior month. You should receive your bill at
the beginning of each month. Bills paid after the 20th of the month are subject to a 10% late fee.

Only under the most unusual circumstances will your bill be estimated. We physically read all meters, usually during
the last week of the month. If your bill must be estimated, it will be clearly marked as such.

Monthly billing is determined by the amount of water registered through your water meter. The rates begin at $12.14
per 1000 gallons for water and $8.78 per 1000 gallons for sewer service. The minimum bill is $23.37 for water and
$22.92 for sewer. (11/15/2017) The specific rate schedule set by the WV Public Service Commission is available at
no cost upon request.
