📣 Water Bill Reminder – Late Fees Explained 💧
We’ve received several calls about late fees on water bills, so we want to help clarify:
Per City Ordinance 13.04.200, water bills are due on the 15th of each month. If payment is not received by the due date, a 10% late fee is automatically applied to the unpaid balance. This month, bills were due Sunday, June 15, and late fees were applied as of Tuesday, June 17, in accordance with city policy. Bills were sent out on the 1st of the month.
We appreciate your understanding. Thank you for helping us keep West Frankfort running smoothly!
