Billing Procedures:
The Town of Aberdeen is on a monthly billing cycle for water bills.
Water rates are set on a sliding scale, according to volume used. Sewer rates are set on a sliding scale, according to each thousand gallons of water used. Current water & sewer rates can be viewed
here.
Residential and Business customers are billed monthly. Bills are mailed on the first working day of every month and are considered past due on the 20th of the month at 5:00 p.m. After the 20th of the month, a 5% penalty or $5.00, which ever is greater, will be added to the bill. If payment is not received in the office by the 5th of the following month, service will be discontinued on the next working day. If the 5th falls on Saturday, Sunday, or a holiday, the customer will be given until 5:00 p.m. on the next working day to pay their bill before water is cut off. Once the account becomes delinquent and appears on the "cut-off list", the customer will be charged $25.00 to reconnect. The bill, plus the reconnect fee, must be paid before service is restored.
A $75 deposit and $20 service fee ($95) is required for residents renting in Aberdeen in order to receive water service. A $20 service fee is required for residents that are buying in Aberdeen in order to receive water service. The Town of Aberdeen will not be responsible for late, undelivered bills, or payments delayed by the U.S. Postal Service.
