Do you offer bank draft as a bill paying method?

Please fill out the automatic bank draft authorization form and submit it to us.
Will my final bill be drafted?
No, we do not draft the final bill. You will need to make the last payment using one of the other payment options.
If I move to a new address will my bank draft automatically be set up at the new address?
No, please let us know if you want to remain on bank draft. We need a new authorization form to be completed for each address. Fill out the automatic bank draft authorization form and submit a new authorization. Instructions are provided for submitting the form to us.

Each deposit is held and applied to the final bill once the account has been closed. It will take approximately two weeks for your final bill to be generated. If you are due a refund, a check will be mailed approximately four weeks after the final bill has been sent. Always supply us with your forwarding address so your refund check can be mailed to the correct address. If you are moving to another address on Springdale’s water system, you may be able to transfer your current deposit to the new location in lieu of receiving a refund. Please read the next question regarding the transfer of service.
To transfer your deposit to a new service address, your account must be paid in full, even if the current balance is not due yet. You may contact us in person or by phone to transfer your deposit to your new service address. Once your previous account has a zero balance, you will be charged a $20.00 transfer fee on your first water bill for your new address. You are only able to have service at two locations for a period of 3 days when requesting a transfer.
If service will be needed at your old address for more than 3 days, you will be required to render a new deposit in addition to a meter service fee for the new address. When you close your account from your old address, that deposit will be applied to your outstanding bill and either a final bill or refund check will be mailed to your new address.
If the water is off at the location that you are requesting service, we will schedule a time- set for you on the next business day. We will request a one hour time period for a serviceman to meet you and set your meter, excluding 12:00-1:00 p.m. If water service is needed the same day, you have the option of paying a same day service charge. To protect your property, service will not be started if someone does not meet the serviceman.
