Billing Problems should be brought to the attention of the Bookkeeping service.
Water customers will receive a nonpayment notice 30 days after the due date of their water bill.  There is a $20/month late fee.  Shareholders in arrears should contact the Bookkeeping Service or the Board to arrange  a payment plan.

Note: NONPAYMENT OF WATER BILLS CAN RESULT IN WATER SHUT-OFF AND A LIEN PLACED AGAINST YOUR PROPERTY (Corporate By-laws), plus a $100.00 reconnection fee. 

 NAMWCO uses a "flat"  billing system to a "monthly usage system". Meters are read in the middle of the month; water bills are calculated and sent out at the beginning of the next month.  Water usage measurements are read and calculated in "units." One "unit" is 100 cubic feet (CCF) of water or about 748.1 gallons.

 Water Bill charges:

1. Lot fixed fee......$58 /lot/month. Capital improvements, assessments & reserve fund
2. Water Usage Charge:
   Tier One- Up to 100 Units - $3.00/unit
   Tier Two- Over 100 Units - $3.84/unit
   

Assessment:

The Board of Directors is authorized to assess each lot when a fiscal or capital equipment need arises. Assessments have been used in the past to retire debt, replace equipment and establish a cash reserve.  Shareholders are notified when an assessment appears eminent.  The last assessment of $15/month/lot was approved at the May 2005 Annual Shareholders' meeting.
