Billing and account research from public material
Provider-specific research notes are displayed separately from fields that contain only an unavailable-information marker. Read qualifiers in each note and verify current account terms with the provider.
- Billing frequency
- Quarterly. Bills are mailed quarterly and are normally due 18 days after the billing date, with a next-business-day extension when that due date falls on a weekend or holiday.
- Rate structure
- The City operates two water sources: Great Lakes Water Authority service for the eastern half and a municipal well field for the western half. The 2025 effective September 1 schedule uses source-specific per-unit usage charges plus quarterly ready-to-serve and infrastructure fixed/variable charges; the official page does not expose a separate 2026 table.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- The City handles routine sewer-main maintenance, while the resident maintains the private sewer segment from the house to the city-main connection. The reviewed official page references a sewer-rate schedule but does not expose a current residential winter-average or intake-percentage calculation in its accessible text.
- New-account deposit
- The City requires a valid driver's license when opening a utility account to comply with federal red-flag rules. The reviewed page does not publish a dollar deposit, credit-check waiver, or deposit-return schedule.
