Most of our customers pay on time. Others cannot and they call us promptly to make payment arrangements.

When a customer has failed to make pay arrangements with us and their account falls past due, a delinquent card is sent to the customer and another card is sent to the property owner to warn that the delinquency will be turned over to an attorney for collection by a civil law suit or a lien will be issued to the owner.
 
If the delinquency is given to an attorney for collection then the customer must deal with the attorneys office not the district's billing office.  If the attorney files a civil law suit for collection of the fees then both court costs and attorneys fees will be added to the delinquent account. Indiana Code 36-9-25-11(f) provides that if a fee is not; paid within 30 days after its due date, the amount together with a penalty of 10% and attorneys fees may be recovered by the district in a civil action.

If the owner is issued a sewage lien then the liens are given to the Delaware County Treasurer's office to collect with property taxes.  If the lien is not paid to the County Treasurer, it is collected in the annual tax sale.  Indiana Code 36-9-23-33 mandates the delinquent collection process and it is expensive for the delinquent customer.
 
To avoid having this happen to your delinquent account it is necessary that you contact us immediately after receiving your initial bill so that you may make arrangements with our billing office to make payments to us on your account.

We have only about 855 customers served by a well. Since we do not know how much they load the sewer system, we charge $99.80 (20 usage x $4.99), which is slightly less than the average household.

We purchase your water usage information from Indiana-American Water Company. Basing sewage charges on water consumption is considered most fair to you. Your sewage bill is usually less if you purchase less water. Less water is less of a load on the sewer and on the treatment plant.

A residential or commercial sewage customer is billed $4.99 for every 100 cubic feet of water recorded by the water meter. We send a bill to you after we receive three usage readings for your meter. If you are like the average household in Muncie, you use 2,200 cubic feet of water in three months and your sewage bill is $103.84 (22 usage X $4.99= $109.78).

When you enroll in automatic payment withdrawal, we will continue to send a sewage bill. However, your bill will be marked "Direct Withdrawal - Not a Bill" and the amount due will be zero. The wastewater charge will be listed to advise you of how much you should deduct on your bank account ledger. Your payment will be deducted on the due date.

If you think your bill is too high, possibly due to a water leak or error, please call us immediately. We will reduce your charge, if appropriate, and correct the amount to be deducted from your bank account.
