Explanation of Billing Charges
- Drinking water payments are billed on the second to the last business day of each month for the usage starting from the 15th of the second month prior to the 15th of the last month prior.
- All balances are due and payable by the 20th of the month. If payment is late, a late fee of 9% of the total balance due per month will be applied to your account
- If the account is not paid by the 20th of the month, a delinquency notice will be sent to the customer notifying them that if the balance of their account remains unpaid after 10 days, their water service will be turned off.
- If no payment has been received in the last 31 days and the account is not paid by the 20th of the month, a door hanger will be placed at the service address, notifying the customer that water service will be turned off in the next 24 hours.
- Service will be restored when 100% of the account balance, including the $85.00 turn on fee, is paid in full.
- If a meter is turned off or locked off for nonpayment by the Lakeside Water District, usage is illegal and will incur additional fee of $400.00 for meter tampering. Meter will then be removed until fee and account balance is paid in full. There will be a $35.00 fee charged on all returned checks.
- If a customer defaults on a previously made payment arrangement, the meter will be turned off and locked off until the outstanding balance is paid in full.
