The following information is provided to new customers of the
water and sewer system of the City of Mason. Some or all of these
items may change from time to time based on actions taken by the
City Council of the City of Mason, to insure that the water and
sewer system remains solvent.
-
The following are charges to new customers using the water
and sewer system. These charges must be paid prior to the
services being used by a new customer.
-
New Account Fee/Water
Turn On - $40.00 All owners and renters are
subject to this fee. This charge is to cover the cost of
turning on the water by the Department of Public Works,
reading the water meter, and establishing all the new records
at City Hall for the new customer.
-
Deposit - $100.00 All renters are required to place
on account with the City a $100.00 deposit. This amount will
remain with the City until such time as the renter moves out
of the residence. At that time, the deposit will be applied to
the final bill; or, if the final bill is paid in full, it will
be refunded to the renter; or, if the renter moves to another
residence within the City, the deposit can be transferred,
providing that the final bill at the previous address is paid
in full.
-
Water and Sewer billings for the users of the water and
sewer systems are done on a quarterly basis.

If the due date falls on a weekend or a holiday observed by
City Hall, the due date will be adjusted to the next working day.
You may receive a partial first billing if you moved into the
residence some time during the billing period, rather than at the
beginning or end of that period.
Unpaid Water & Sewer Bills become a LIEN against the property.
Readings and consumption are in gallons. Failure to receive a bill
does not excuse the late payment charge.
THERE IS A TEN PERCENT (10%) LATE CHARGE ON ALL BILLS NOT
PAID ON OR BEFORE THE DUE DATE.
-
Billing Charges - Water charges are based on the
actual water used, rounded off to the nearest 1,000 gallons. The
water is measured by a water meter. The sewer charge is based
upon the actual water used. This charge is approximately 222%
more than the water charge. If you are interested in the cost
per 1,000 gallons, please contact City Hall.
