As a landowner and/or water user within PID you have four different types of bills that you will receive all with different durations for due dates. The following is a summary of the types of invoices you may receive and their typical due date:
- Assessments
- Assessments are invoiced in the beginning March and are due in two installments, splitting the total amount due in half. The first half is due on March 31, the second half is due on June 30.
- Assessments are treated like taxes and are not optional if you own land within PID.
- Water Bill
- Water usage in one month will be billed at the beginning of the next month and will be due on the 15th of the following month. Please reference the Water Rates tab to see what the current water rates are for service. For example, if you use water in May, you will receive a bill in June, that bill will be due July 15.
- Late fees
- The District charges two types of late fees. The first is a one time 10% late fee on assessments. The second is a 1.5% charge on the water bill or any outside services
- All late fees are due within 30 days of the delinquency.
- For example, if you miss the March 31 assessment, the late fee will be due May 1.
- If you miss the water bill due July 15, the late fee will be due August 15.
- Outside Services
- The District charges for outside services that are beyond the typical scope of O&M for PID facilities. These services include installing a new turnout for a customer, repairing a valve, or digging up a private pipeline.
- These services are charges based upon the fully burdened staff rate plus any equipment used. The equipment and staff will be billed at a 2 hour minimum for service.
- In addition, any materials procured in the process in performing the outside services will be billed with an additional 5% upcharge.
- These bills are due within 30 days of invoice, typically we try to invoice at the beginning of the month.
- Please note that, if you are leasing a property and fail to pay your bill, the bill will go to the landowner.
- Failure to pay PID’s bills will go through the process outlined in the PID’s Rules and Regulations here
