Water meters did not get read on time last week due to the winter storm. We apologize for the delay and they will be going out Friday, December 12th. With the combination of holidays and delay in bills going out, late fees will not be applied until December 31, 2025.

Reminder that the bills November-January tend to be higher due to multiple factors including weather that can lead to longer periods between read dates.

We apologize for an issue with our paperless billing system for the past few months. We have resolved that issue, however, in doing so it released those past months emailed bills. Please pay attention to the month on your bills you received electronically. Please contact the Village Hall Office at 269-674-8161 with any questions.
