BROOKVILLE – Customers are getting hit with the water bill twice next month in Brookville.
Residents received a letter in the mail stating the town is planning on billing two months of water bills in September.
Utility employees are now able to read meters in one day and the billing can be done in one day, the Brookville-American Democrat reports.
Customers have been paying the water bill for meter readings that were taken two months prior. By billing twice in one month the town can now send a water bill reflecting the previous month.
If customers have trouble paying both bills in September a payment schedule can be set up on an individual basis. Utility workers ask for proof of financial burden before they are able to potentially work out an agreement.
