• Failure to provide a meter reading for two or more consecutive quarters will result in an additional $35.00 fee

The Board of Directors approved a water rate increase at an Annual Meeting of the Members on 3/24/2026. New rates are $6.50/1000 gals for the first 4,000 gals and $8.75/1000 gals for usage beyond 4,000 gals. The rate increase was  needed to provide funding for system improvements and to increase capital reserves.

• $15.00 - late payment
• $35.00 - failure to submit meter readings for two or more consecutive readings 

• A $650 membership fee is assessed for each new member.
