Effective on the September 2019 billing
Customers who apply for and qualify under the State's Low Income Property Tax Assistance
Program, as set forth in Section 15-6-134 MCA, will receive a credit equal to their monthly water
service charge listed above.
Section 4—Billing Procedures
Charges for water services under this schedule shall be made a part of the current monthly water

Charges for water used and wastewater service charges become due and payable upon receipt of
the bill. If any bill is not paid on or before the fifteenth day of that month, it will then become
delinquent; and if not paid in full by the fifteenth day of the following month, water service to the
premises involved may be discontinued(shut-off), after a ten-day written notice. A charge of fifty
dollars ($50.00) shall be made for any account requiring written shut-off notice. An additional

discontinued for non-payment of water, wastewater and/or stormwater service charges.
