Important Terms & Information

Any disputes not resolved by such an appeal may be further appealed to the Board of Directors within fifteen (15) days after a notice of decision has been given. The filing of an appeal shall not postpone the due date of the billing.

Ccf = 100 cubic Feet = 748 gallons

Due Dates: You are billed bi-monthly for water service. Bills are payable upon presentation and delinquent 50 days after the service period ends. Failure to receive a bill does not excuse late payment. Any unpaid balance at the next reading date will be subject to a 10% penalty.

(EDU) Equivalent Dwelling Unit: Any mobile home pad, apartment, separate structure of building with habitable space or facilities that could be used for living, sleeping, eating, or cooking, which could be rented and/or occupied by an individual or family. This does not include a home business, which is contained within a single structure (including an attached garage) and operated by occupant.

Fire Hydrant Maintenance Surcharge: Each customer’s water bill will reflect an additional $2.00 fee collected for the Town of Paradise.

Rate Codes: Rate codes are listed after each service rate in parenthesis. Examine your bill to ensure that the correct rate code is listed.

Sealed Meters: You may have your meter sealed to reduce your bi-monthly service charge. Water cannot be drawn from a sealed meter. Meters sealed for non-payment require full payment of account plus any sealed meter charges in order for water service to be restored.

Who can receive a bill: District policy requires that the “recorded owner receive the water bill”. Delinquent bills constitute a possible lien on the property. Duplicate bills for tenants or other parties are available upon request, for an additional $1.00 per bill, per billing period.
