| Convenient
Payment Options Help Customers
Every customer
receives a monthly water bill. To provide even more convenient
service, the District offers several convenient payment options.
No Worry
Payment options help avoid the District’s 8% late charge
and eliminate one more thing to deal with each month. Billing
options also eliminate concerns about what to do when you are out
of town and the bill comes due.
Automatic Payment
Customers may arrange for their bank to automatically pay
their water bill through the Direct Pay Program. Payment is made
on the 20th of each month (or on the next business day if the 20th
falls on a weekend or bank holiday).
Pre-Pay
Customers can pay ahead for any number of
months. Advance payments show up as a credit on water bills. |

Wise water
use is like having your cake and eating it too. The
following simple tasks can help lower water use and at
the same time make landscapes more beautiful and easier
to maintain:
|
Plant in the spring to take
advantage of the natural growing cycle.
Choose
lower water-use plants. Many attractive species of
native plants are available.
Group plants by thirstiness to allow for more efficient
watering of plants that require different amounts of
water.
Remember to turn off timers if it rains.
|
Add a two- to four-inch layer of mulch. Mulch is not
only attractive, but also keeps down weeds, insulates
the soil, and reduces moisture loss.
Get
a free water audit from the District. Just fill out a
simple form. An expert will analyze your water use and
suggest ways to economize.
