Water User Deposit
The Village of Winfield
supplies Lake Michigan water to its residents and requires a refundable deposit
of $65.00 for all new water and sewer users. The required deposit is to be paid
at the Village Hall at the time the account is established and service is
started. The deposit will be refunded following a final reading of your water
meter by the Village of Winfield Water Operator and will be credited to your
final bill.
Water & Sewer User Fees
Billing for Winfield
water and sewer users is generated on a monthly basis. The rate for both
water and sewer users is $7.91 per 1,000 gallons. The consumption water rate is
$4.59 per 1,000 gallons and $3.32 per 1,000 gallons for sewer collection. There
is a minimum monthly usage of 2,500 gallons, which is billed at a rate of $20.18
per month.

Water & Sewer Utility Bills
Water and sewer users
are billed every month. Utility bills are processed on or after the 14th of each
month for the prior month's usage and are due on or about the 5th of the
following month. The Village has completed the Automated Meter Reading
Program which now allows for accurate and timely readings of the water meter.
Users no longer need to submit meter reads to the Village. Please contact the Finance Department at (630) 933-7100 for
questions on this program.

Payment of Utility Bills
Payment for utility
services is due to the Village on or before the date indicated on the utility
bill. Failure to make payment to the Village by the date due will result in a
ten percent
(10%) penalty charge assessed to your account on the entire amount
due. Bills can be paid at the Village Hall, by mail, on the internet using E-Pay
on this website, or by depositing your
payment in the drop box located
in the rear of the Village Hall.

Be a Leak Seeker/Conserve Water
The following tips are simple steps that can be taken to conserve water and
prevent problems of water loss through leaks.
-
Check
your toilets for leaks. Put a little food coloring in your toilet
tank. If, without flushing, the color begins to appear in the bowl,
you have a leak that should be repaired immediately.
-
Put
plastic bottles in your toilet. To cut down on waste water, put an
inch or two of sand or pebbles inside each of two plastic bottles to weigh
them down. Fill them with water and put them in your toilet tank,
safely away from operating mechanisms. In an average home, the bottles
may displace and save ten or more gallons a day.
-
Check
faucets and pipes for leaks. Even the smallest drip from a worn washer
can waste 20 or more gallons a day. Larger leaks can waste hundreds.
Leaks waste water 24 hours a day, seven days a week and often can be
repaired with an inexpensive washer.
-
Water
lawns and gardens during the cool part of the day. Early morning is
generally better than dusk since it helps prevent growth of fungus.
Did you know that a continuous leak from a hole the
size stated below will result in a water waste of the number of gallons listed?
Did you know that a regular garden hose will allow a
flow of as much as 650 gallons of water per hour-Don't forget to turn it
off!
1/4 inch hole-1,181,500 gallons wasted in three months
1/8 inch hole-296,000 gallons wasted in three months
1/16 inch hole-74,000 gallons wasted in three months
1/32 inch hole-18,500 gallons wasted in three months
