Please place all after-hours water payments in the drop-box located outside of the James A. Clay Municipal building.
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.
