Pay Water Bill Online in the Town of Peru, New York using this service!
Bills are due 20 days from the time the service was billed. If a bill is being paid within this 20 day period, you need only pay the net amount shown on the bill. Payments received after the due date are subject to a penalty in the amount of 10% of the current wastewater service billing and 3% each for the current water and electric service billing. A great way to avoid penalties is to sign up for direct debit.
Customers who have not paid a bill by the due date are subject to a penalty in the amount of 10 percent of the current wastewater service billing and 3 percent each for the current water and electric service billing. Failure to pay within 14 days of the due date results in termination of services. Disconnections will not be done past noon on any day that precedes a weekend or a holiday. Disconnections will not be done when the temperature is below 32 degrees F, unless the disconnection is for a bad check.
Customers who are retired or disabled and who receive their only income from retirement, disability and/or Social Security may be exempted from penalties if the due date of their bill falls prior to receipt of their monthly check. To be considered for penalty exempt status, the customer must make application at the main office. To retain penalty exempt status, the customer must pay the full amount of the bill each month without having any charges carried forward to subsequent billings. The customer must establish nine months of satisfactory payment history prior to being eligible for penalty exempt status. An exception to this would be those customers who are on the Budget Billing Program and whose budget payments are less than the actual bill for a given month.
