Utility Bill Policy

The Harwood Utility Bill policy is as follows:

  • Delinquent bills can only be 30 days past notice.  After two consecutive non-payment of bills, residents will have water shut off to their residence.
  • If a residence is delinquent on their utility bill, the residence will receive three (3) notices advising of the delinquency. They are:
    1. The standard postcard bill that every residence receives each month
    2. A mailed letter discussing the delinquent utility bill
    3. A door tag placed at the residence of the delinquency
  • If a delinquent bill is not paid by the due date, water will be shut off to the residence on the date indicated on the second and third notices.  Water will not be turned on until the following conditions are met:
    1. Pay the entire bill, including past due and current amount due totals
    2. Pay an additional $50.00 charge for Public Work services
      • $25.00 to shut water off
      • $25.00 to turn water on
