Past Due Bills
All accounts are billed monthly and are payable upon receipt. A bill is past due if not received within 20 days of the billing date. A late fee is charged to the account after 30 days ($10 or 10% of the past-due bill, whichever is greater). Service may be discontinued for non-payment after 40 days. The District will attempt to call prior to a lock-off, and customers should make sure the District has their most current contact information.
Description of Charges
- Rates and Fees - View current rates and fees.
- Service Charge - Each property with a meter is charged a monthly service fee that is based on account type and meter size. The fee covers a portion of the District's fixed costs to provide service to any existing meter, including inspection, maintenance, accounting, meter reading and billing services for a typical water connection and for fire suppression capacity.
- Water Charge - The water charge is billed in units; 1 unit is equal to 748 gallons. This charge, which varies with the amount of water used, funds a portion of the District's operating costs and imported water purchased from the State Water Project, which are used to replenish groundwater supplies.
