Why do I have a water bill when I am not using any water?
The Village of Spring Lake Water and Sewer Divisions provide utility services on a fee-for-service basis. In addition to the fees for the actual gallons consumed or collected, there are "readiness-to-serve fees." These fees are typical in other water and sewer systems in the county and elsewhere. The intent of readiness-to-serve fees is to cover costs that are fixed no matter whether water is consumed or the user disposes of wastewater. The fees do not go up or down based on usage. Since they relate to each metered service, they only vary on meter size. Currently, Village Council sets the fees during the annual budget adoption process.
Can I pay by credit card?

We do not have the capability to accept credit card payments at Village Hall.
