​

Water bills are mailed on the last business day of each month and are due by the 15th without penalty.

​

Failure to receive bill does not relieve consumer of payment.

​

Penalty will be added after 15th and service will be disconnected on the 21st of each month for non-payment.

​

A $1.00 reprint fee will be applied if you do not present bill at time of payment.

​

Payments made after 2:00 PM for disconnects will not be reconnected until next business day.

​

A $50.00 reconnect fee is due before service is restored.

​

If your water service has been disconnected by City Hall for non-payment, your balance plus a reconnect fee must be paid prior to reconnection. It is unlawful and a violation of Carthage Municipal Codes for the homeowner/renter to turn water on before the bill has been made current. A city worker will reconnect your water service after payment has been made.
