North Perry Water bills every 2 months with payment due on the 15th of the month issued. There is a 30 day grace period before the billed amount is considered delinquent. The district is making updates to your account billing cycle starting with the 2/1/23 billing. The billing month will not change; however, the billing due date will be the 15th of the following month. The grace period the district previously allowed has been incorporated into the new due date. Customers that use AutoPay will have their payments deducted on the new due date. If delinquent, a notice is sent on the 16th of the following month adding a 10% penalty. The following month a new bill is generated. If the past due amount is not paid by 4:30 pm on the 15th, a $20 fee is added to the amount owed and a 24 hour shut off notice (door tag) is posted at the service address. Water is shut off 24 hours after the time written on the notice. After shut off, payment of the full balance and a $65 reconnect fee is required to restore service. If the 16th falls on a weekend the notices will be processed the following business day.
We provide a basic water usage graph to give you a general idea of your water consumption over time. If you have not received your bill by the 10th day of the month please contact our office.
Payments will be applied to your account in the order of receipt, posting to the most delinquent charges first.

There will be a $5.00 fee per billing cycle for this service added to the billing statement.
As of March 1, 2015, the District will no longer allow customers to request a temporary dormancy to their account, or request a temporary shut off of their meter due to absence (other than military duty) or vacation.
