Billing Schedule

All utility services are billed out on a bi-monthly basis.  Bills are due by the 15th of the month after receipt.  The billing schedule for the Town of Gretna consists of January, March, May, July, September and November. 

Connection fee for Services

All water and sewer connections are issued at the Town Treasurers Office prior to installation.  The fees are set by Town Council and are to be paid prior to hooking up to Town Services.

Disconnection of Services

When discontinuing utility services the customer should notify Town Hall.  Any usage that occurs until Town Hall is notified of account closure is the responsibility of the customer.  Service disconnection for non-payment of accounts occurs on the first Monday of the following months:  February, April, June, August, October and December.  Once an account has been disconnected for non-payment, the past due balance plus a $50.00 reconnect fee must be paid before service is restored. 

Leaks

Town of Gretna code states that each account is entitled to a leak adjustment, but only once a year.  If you encounter a leak please contact a plumber to correct the problem.  Once the problem is correct contact Town Hall and provide the office with a copy of the repair bill and an adjustment will be calculated based on average usage over the period of a year.

Utility Rate Structure:
All bills are calculated with a minimum usage of 1-6000 gallons.  Any rate changes are effective September 1st.
