Utility Billing, which is a division of the Finance Department, is responsible for performing all accounting functions related to water billing. Presently, approximately 28,000 accounts are maintained through this office with each of these accounts assigned to one of two billing cycles. The accounts are billed as follows: Cycle 1 – Billed on the 1st of every month; and Cycle 3 – Billed on the 15th of every even-numbered month (non-water accounts).

The monies for water services are maintained in a special water fund from which all water-related costs are expended. This fund segregation is used to enable the water section to be treated as a unique entity for accounting purposes. The water fund is a complete self-supporting fund with no tax money of any kind used for operating expenses.
