Final Meter Reading Requests
If you are purchasing/selling/renting a home or business in the Village, contact our office to have a final meter reading done before the sale, or each time a tenant moves out/in. This will ensure that the proper person is receiving the bill for water consumed at the property location. If the property has been vacant for a long period of time, it is preferable for our Water Department to gain access to the meter inside the home/business to ensure the accuracy of the final bill. Please call to schedule a time when someone will be able to be at the property location to allow them access.
