What do I do if I hear gurgling in my sanitary sewer?

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?
Yes, online Utility Payments or Tax Payments.
We do not have the capability to accept credit card payments at Village Hall.
What should I do when I go away for the winter?
If you're leaving for the winter you may want to call the Village to have your bill forwarded. You may also want to call a plumber to winterize.
How do I sign up for automatic utility payments?
Fax, mail or drop off the form below to the Village Hall.
Is there a drop box at Village Hall?
There are two drop boxes in the Village, one is on the north side of the Village Hall building and the other is located behind Village Hall (previously located behind the Love in Action Resale Store at the corner of Savidge St. and Jackson).
