Bills
Utility bills are mailed every month. Bills should be received during the first few days of the month and are due by the 15th. A late penalty of 10% will be levied on bills received after the 15th. On your bill will be water, sewer, refuse, recycling and stormwater fees.
You can elect to receive bills by mail or e-mail. Unless told otherwise, utility bills will be mailed. If you would like to receive your bill by e-mail, please e-mail utilities@bridgewater.town with your name, account number, preferred e-mail address and whether or not you would still like to continue to receive a mailed bill. Once we have successfully processed your request you will receive a confirmation e-mail.
