Understanding Your Bill

CFPUA bills every 2 months, around every 55 to 65 days, so you will receive 6 bills a year. Variations to this schedule may occur due to weekends, holidays, and weather events.
  
Below is an example of a bill. Move your mouse over bill items for explanations on each one.

Please note:
Balance Forward means past due and should be paid as soon as possible to avoid service interruption. Total Amount Due reflects the total for the current two-month billing period, not including the Balance Forward amount. 

Delinquency:
Payment due date is 30 days after the account was billed. If payment is not received by the due date:

  • A late fee is applied 1 day after the payment due date.
  • A delinquent letter is sent 23 days, including weekends, after the late fee was applied.
  • Water service will be turned off 14 days, including weekends, after the delinquent letter is mailed
