Frequently Asked Questions:
Billing Cycle:
Each customer is billed monthly. Payments must be received by the 25th of every month, regardless of whether that date falls on a weekend or holiday. Payments will be applied the date they are received, however, if dropped in our drop box in front of Village Hall or received by mail and the due date falls on a weekend or holiday, payments in the drop box by 8:00 A.M on the next business day, will NOT be considered late. A $17.50/late charge will be assessed for any payments received after the due date or next business day of entry, whichever occurs first.
New Accounts/Rental Properties:
To begin a new water service account, please contact the Village of Lakemoor prior to your closing date or move in/out date. This will allow time to set up a meter read and process all paperwork correctly.
High Usage:
Most instances of higher than normal water usage are caused by leaks in a toilet's flush tank. These leaks are often difficult to detect and may go unnoticed. Leaks are also commonly found in sinks, bathtubs, furnace humidifiers, hot water tanks, water softeners and homes with hot water heating systems.
It is suggested that you check your flush tanks and other points of use periodically. You are responsible for water usage, regardless of the nature of that usage. Additionally, no discount is given for filling swimming pools or spas.
Senior/Active Military/Veteran Discount:
Senior Citizens (age 65 and over), Active Military and Veterans, who are head of household, are eligible for a 10% discount on their water service provided (Rental income properties, as well as, commercial properties are excluded from this program). Please visit the Village Hall with proof of age or ID to fill out a form.
