New Rates & Cut-off Procedures Effective June 1, 2026

There will no longer be an 8:00 a.m. $30.00 fee to avoid meter being locked. For meters locked, then unlocked during normal maintenance department hours of 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m - the fee will be $75.00. If a customer wants to have a meter unlocked after 3:00 p.m., there will be an additional $100.00 - for a total of $175.00 as we must pay our technicians overtime after 3:00 p.m. (Board approved 4/14/26)

A new meter set fee of $400.00 will also go into effect on June 1, 2026. This fee pertains to setting a meter in an existing meter box with a existing tap, whereby the meter has been previously pulled or never placed. This is not the same as a new 3/4" installation, which still remains at $750.00 but will increase in the near future.
(Board approved 4/14/26)

In addition to the above rate changes, the fee for subcontracted road bores is now $1,300.00 plus supplies billed after installation.
We require 50% down on road bores and the balance to be paid monthly in increments of $100.00. Failure to pay the monthly amount will result in the meter being locked and a $75.00 unlock fee will apply. A $10.00 late charge will also be assessed monthly if the payment is not received on time. (Board approved 4/21/26)

Please call our office at 228-255-6800 if you have any questions.
