Water Reports
Water Rates
Water bills are sent out in the beginning of January, April, July, and October. They are due by the end of the month that they are received. Failure to do so will incur a penalty of 50%. Severely delinquent accounts risk having their service interrupted until the bill is paid in full, plus a $40 reconnect fee. We are more than willing to work with residents to make sure the bills are paid timely and penalty-free.
Quarterly Water Billing Rates, effective January 2009. Residences are billed a flat fee of $20 per connection, plus $2.50 per 1,000 gallons of consumption.
Water bills can be mailed in or dropped off in the brop box in the office door. Additionally, payments can be made during regular office hours, and during special office hours on the 3rd Tuesday of January, April, July, and October from 7pm – 9pm.
Water Meter Certification
If you are moving out of Richlandtown, plase have your realtor or settlement company request a final meter reading (or “water meter certification”). Please fax or mail the requests in to the office no later than one week before settlement.
Upon settlement of a home purchase, there is also a meter depost of $100. Homes sold within the Borough will have their previous meter deposit refunded at settlement.
New residents should call the Borough Office and have water billing set up in their name.
