New Customers/Account Transfers
Water & sewer fees are based on the size of the water meter to be installed. All appropriate application fees must be submitted to DPU with an application for a new or transferred utility account, prior to utility service being initiated. A non-refundable Administration Fee plus a Utility Account Deposit are required for all new & transferred accounts. Deposits are credited to the customer’s final bill after DPU receives written notice of the customer’s request to terminate service. Additionally, in order to establish utility service, other fees as listed below may apply.
