Q. Why is my bill so high?A. You may want to check the flapper valve in your toilet or where the float ball is set. These may be causing a leak. Do you sometimes have to jiggle the handle to make the toilet to stop running? Have you been watering your lawn or are you trying to keep it green during a hot spell? Do you have a pool? Do children often play in the hose/sprinkler? These are all causes of heavy use which is reflected in high bills.
Q. Why are you charging me a late fee?
A. This new billing structure began in June 2003 for Township customers and in July 2003 for City customers. The due date for all bills is now 20 days from the date of mailing, rather than the 10th.
