Utility Invoicing
If you are not a District water customer but own property in Lake Country, you will receive quarterly utility invoices. Utility invoices for non-District water customers will include garbage, recycling and sewer user fees (if applicable), prorated over four quarters.
Utilities invoices are charged quarterly with the following billing cycles and due dates:
- January 1 to March 31 - due May 15
- April 1 to June 30 - due August 15
- July 1 to September 30 - due November 15
- October 1 to December 31 - due February 15
All unpaid balances past the due date will incur interest of 1.5% per month compounded annually. It is each customer's responsibility to make sure the bill is paid by the deadline to avoid penalties. Outstanding charges at December 31 are rolled into taxes in arrears and accrue interest.
