Water, Sewer and Refuse Rates
As of 7-06 the City of Mediapolis is
charging $4.73 for the first 1000 gallons of
water used. Water customers are charged
$2.52 for each 1000 gallons used thereafter.
The initial $4.73 is the minimum amount and
customers are charged that amount for any
gallons used up to 1000. The amount charged
for the subsequent gallons is prorated.
As of 1-05 the sewer charge is 100% of the
water charge.
As of 1-05 residents are charged $7.67/month
for refuse collection. Commercial customers
are charged according to the size of the
Dumpster and how often the Dumpster is
emptied. The minimum charge for commercial
customers is $10.00/ month.
Utility Deposit
New utility customers must pay a $50 deposit
for utility service with the city. This
amount is refunded to you after 12
consecutive months of on-time payments.
Billing, Payment Options and Penalties
Water, sewer and refuse customers are billed
each month, generally around the 27th of
each month. Water meters are read each
month, generally around the middle of the
month. For example- the bill generated on
the 27th of January will be for water used
from the middle of December to the middle of
January.
The bills are due on the 20th day of the
month. A minimum $5.00 penalty is added to
accounts paid after the due date. Customers
who have not paid by the 20th will be sent a
disconnect notice. Customers have 10 days
after the due date of the 20th to pay the
amount past due or water service may be
disconnected. If that happens, the customer
will need to pay the entire past due amount,
a $25 reconnection fee and a $50 deposit if
one is not already on file.
Customers now have the option to have the
utility bill paid with an automatic
withdrawal on the 15th of each month. These
customers will still receive utility bills
so the amount to be withdrawn will be known.
Please contact the city clerk if you would
like to sign up for this service.
Bills may be paid in person at the clerk’s
office, at any of the banks in the City of
Mediapolis, by mail, or the payment may be
left in the drop box at City Hall. Checks
only in the drop box please.
