The Registrar's Office determines eligibility and confirms acceptance of a registration application by mailing to the registrant a voter information card, which includes election districts and the name and address of the voting location. Citizens should check with the voter registrar if they are not notified within a reasonable time of the status of their voter application. Registration in Virginia is permanent as long as the voter notifies the registration office in writing of any address change within the state. Qualified voters who will be absent from their city or county of residence on election day or those unable to go to the polls because of illness or infirmity may apply by mail or in person for an absentee ballot. Mailed applications must be received in the Registrar's Office no later than five days before an election, but the in-person deadline extends to three days before the election.
Service is metered and bills are mailed quarterly.
To help pay for treatment and pumping capacity that is used only during periods of high demand, the Authority also levies peak use charges on customers who exceed their winter quarter consumption by 6,000 gallons or 30 percent, whichever is greater, during the summer quarters. There also are fees for initial connection to the system and for starting or transferring an account. Meetings are open to the public. The authority's mailing address is P.O. Box 1500, Merrifield, VA 22116. All of these water suppliers include sewer service charges when billing customers who have sewer service, whether provided by the county or the respective municipality.
