Changes to US First-Class Mail delivery times

Effective Oct. 1, 2021, the United States Postal Service (USPS) is implementing its new service standards for First-Class Mail items. While standards for single-piece First-Class Mail traveling within a local area will remain unchanged, mail traveling the greatest distances will experience longer transit times. Please note that this may impact your mail receipt and delivery window. Learn more on the USPS website.

 

What you can do

Avoid the risk of potential late fees by paying your sewer bill through the Customer Portal. By registering your account on the Customer Portal, you will be able to pay your bill, submit service requests, and receive billing reminders via email. Through the Customer Portal, you can also enroll and set up the automatic bank payment, which enables your bank to automatically deduct your sewer bill amount from your checking or savings account.

Do not flush disinfecting wipes and paper towels down toilet – throw away instead
