You can disconnect service by submitting a disconnect services form. The form must be submitted prior to the desired service stop date.

The water deposit is a $150 charge that is required within 5-days of receiving your email notification that your new utility services account has been created. This deposit is required and will be utilized to pay for any damages to the meter or to cover any remaining costs associated with your final bill.
Upon vacating the address and closing your account, the deposit will be refunded. However, prior to receiving the refund, the deposit will first be applied to any remaining balance on your account. After the deposit has been applied, the Town will refund your deposit to the address provided in your services disconnection form. This deposit can take up to 2-3 weeks to be processed and mailed to the requested address.
