WATER, SEWER, SOLID WASTE (TRASH AND RECYCLING) are billed by the City of North Newton. The bill is prepared and mailed monthly on the 1st. Your payment is due the 15th of the month.  A 5% penalty is applied to delinquent accounts on or around the 15th.  If payment has not been received by the first of the next month, water service is disconnected.  To restore water service, the customer must pay the delinquent bill plus a $15 re-connection charge at City Hall.

WATER meters are read during the middle of every month. The minimum charge is $12.65 for zero to 300 cubic feet of water consumption. Charges on usage above 300 cf are based on a graduated scale.  A one-time charge of $15 to set up your services will appear on your first bill as a miscellaneous charge.  Renters are required to pay a $50 water deposit when setting up service. 

SEWER is based on the winter quarter (mid-November through mid-February) water usage. Sewer is re-averaged yearly on your April bill and rates are fixed for the remainder of the year.
