Water Billing:
The Village of Coal Valley has welcomed many new residents in the last couple of years and there have been several questions about how the Water Billing works. This is a summary of the Water and Sewer Ordinance.
- The water meters are read on or around the 15th of each month.
- All bills for service shall be rendered monthly as of the first day of the month succeeding the period for which the service is billed and shall be payable no later than the close of business on the 10th day of the same month. If payment is made after the 10th, then a penalty of 10% of the amount of the bill shall be added on.
- You are able to pay your bill three ways:
- Mail the bill to the Village Hall;
- Drop off the bill at the Village Hall (there is a drop slot for 24 hour service);
-
Automatic withdrawal from your checking/savings account on the 10th of the Month
To enroll in our program, please fill out and return an Authorization Agreement for Automatic Debits (ACH) form along with a voided check. If we are in the middle of a billing cycle, please be sure to enclose a payment for your current invoice along with your Authorization Agreement. With automatic withdrawal you save time and money: no need to remember to pay your bill, no more stamps, and no more late fees! We'll do all the work for you. Click here for Authorization Agreement for Auto Withdrawal.
- If you plan on being away for a period of time you may wish to discontinue service. "Any user desiring to temporarily discontinue service for a period of absence from the premises shall make application thereof to the Village. Each time there is a discontinuance of service requested by a user, there shall be a charge of $20.00 to shut-off the service and $20.00 to turn-on service", residents will still be billed the service fee. If you have any further questions you can contact the Village of Coal Valley.
