Utility Billing

Utility Billing is a division of the Village's Finance Department and is responsible for invoicing residents for water usage, sanitary sewer maintenance, and garbage service monthly. This division is also responsible for investigating and resolving customer concerns regarding utility bills and the reporting of service or equipment problems. 

The Village of Montgomery sewer maintenance charge is for the maintenance of the physical sewer lines that run through the infrastructure. This charge will fluctuate based on your usage. Fox Metro Water Reclamation District (Fox Metro) is a public utility responsible for the treatment of wastewater, most often generated from the use of toilets, sinks, bathing, dishes, and laundry). Fox Metro treats this water. You will receive a separate bill from Fox Metro every other month based on your water usage.

All residential and commercial customers should receive a bill monthly via email or postal service based on their billing preferences. Payment is due on or before the 20th of each month. A 10% late fee will apply if the payment processes after that date. View 2021-2025 Water Rate Sheet.
