Billing and Payment Procedures
All water bills are generated and mailed out the last week of each month. Payment is due on or by the 15th of each month. Accounts not paid by the 15th of the month will be subject to a 10% penalty of the delinquent amount.
City of Gray Water Department accepts cash, check or money order. Credit and debit card payments are accepted online. Bank draft is also available.
Payments may be placed in the drop box located in front of City Hall. These payments will be applied to accounts the following business day.
Service disconnected for non-payment of bills will be restored only after bills are paid in full including $35 reconnection fee.
If the Customer’s meter is cut off for non-payment and it remains off and locked for 60 days with no contact to the City of Gray Water Department, the Customer’s account will be finalized and the deposit will be applied to the account. Any remaining balance will be forwarded to the Customer’s address on file. Should the Customer wish to restore service after his or her account has been finalized, a deposit will be required plus payment of any outstanding balance.
