Water meters are read and billed quarterly. A deposit is required of all customers, which is applied toward the final bill when they move out of the Village.
Any amount left over is refunded.
Water usage above 15,000 gallons will be charged at the regular rate. The Village provides a garbage pick up once a week. There is no limit to the number of cans one can have.
