Rates & Policies

Listed below, you will find our current rates and policies. The water meters are read each month by either the Radio Read System or the AMI Kamstrup System. The consumption of water used includes a mandatory state regulatory fee. Please contact our office for any additional information.

If you do not receive your bill by the first of the month, please call our office and ask for your bill amount and due date or you may go to your account online.

Your bills are zip code sorted and hand-delivered to the Mount Vernon Post Office each month. We do not have any control over what happens to your bill after that. According to the Postmaster, mail received at the local office is taken to a USPS Distribution Center, ours is in Coppell, Texas, to be sorted by machine, then returned to the local office for delivery.
