Check for leaks. If you feel there is a problem
with high usage on your water/wastewater billing,
please contact our office. We will give you tips on
how to check for any problems. In the event you still
have concerns, we offer a check for leaks to help
you determine if there are any leaks in your water
system. This service is free of charge to our consumers
Waiver of Minimum Charges. This charge was instituted
for vacant properties. If you are selling your home
and anticipate the property to be vacant for 6 months
or more, you may want to inquire about our vacation
rate. If you apply for this rate, we terminate your
service, remove your meter and you will receive no
further billing until you wish to once again have
water to the property. There is a requirement that
you have all billing paid in full prior to receiving
vacation rate. You must also pay an advance $50.00
fee for reconnection.
Pool credits. If you have a swimming pool
in your yard, we will allow a one time per year credit
on the wastewater portion of your bill for all usage
over your average. Pool water must not be drained
into the sanitary sewer to receive this credit. We
will also be surveying consumers with pools to make
sure they have installed proper backflow devices.
We recommend that hose bibb vacuum breakers be placed
on all threaded spigots. (These may be purchased at
your local hardware store). Installment of these devices
will now be a requirement for you to receive your
pool credit. Please stop by our office and complete
a pool credit form.
Freeze credits. In the wintertime, to keep
lines from freezing back into the meters we allow
freeze credits. If you wish to allow your water to
run in a small thin stream, we will credit your water/wastewater
billings back to your average. Maximum amount of credit
allowed for freezing is for 900 cubic foot per unit.
Please notify us in writing if you wish to exercise
this option.
Unit reductions. If you have a multiple unit
dwelling and decide to convert your home/rental to
a single unit, you may want to ask us for a unit reduction.
Please check the box on your water/wastewater bill
indicating number of "UNITS" billed to you. Any incorrect
information should be immediately reported to our
office.
Surepay. Our department works with First Knox
National Bank to do back direct pay. Through our ACH
program, we can take your water/wastewater billing
directly from your checking account. You will receive
a bill indicating you have direct pay. You may contact
us with any questions or problems prior to the time
the deduction is made. Otherwise, the bank direct
pay accounts are billed the 15th of each billing quarter.
Should the 15th fall on a weekend or holiday, your
payment will be considered to be deducted the next
business day.
Night deposit box. For your convenience we
have a night deposit box located at the north side
of our building. Payments put into the night deposit
box will be processed the next business day. Should
a due date fall on a weekend or holiday, payments
received through the night deposit will be considered
on time the following business day.
Drive thru window. To make your bill paying
easier, we once again have a drive thru window. This
is a convenience many customers appreciate.
