Billing Policy

Regular billing is due and payable upon date of presentation. Pursuant to Government Code (G.C.) § 60373, your bill will become past due if not paid within 19 days after date of presentation. Past due bills are subject to interest and late fees in accordance with G.C. § 61115. A 10% penalty will be assessed when delinquent.

Should the amount of your bill be questioned, the customer must request an investigation or initiate a complaint with the District within five days of receiving the bill per G.C. § 60372.

All bills are the responsibility of the customer who signs for service and remains their responsibility until the District is notified that the service is to be taken out of their name and the account is paid in full.
