Glens Falls Water and Sewer Bills Mailed Out

The City of Glens Falls has sent out the quarterly water and sewer bill which reflects the last three months of 2022.  These payments are due by February 16, 2023; after that date, a late payment fee will be incurred. These payments can be made by mail, online, on the city’s website (cityofglensfalls.com), or in person at City Hall. To pay in person, either bring the payment to the comptroller’s office, or place the payment in the after-hours drop box located outside of the front door at city hall. 

Failure to receive a bill does not relieve the customer of their responsibility to pay. Customers can find current balance information on the city’s website. There are programs available to assist low income families – The Low-Income Household Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP) is a new drinking water and wastewater emergency assistance program funded through New York State. The amount of assistance is based on the amount of unpaid water and sewer bills owed by the applicant, and uses a similar structure to the Home Energy Assistance program.  For more information, visit otda.ny.gov/LIH

There will be a 5% increase in the water bill, which took effect January 1, 2023; this increase on average is $0.10 per day, and approximately $0.74 per week. This is based on an average of 20,000 gallons of water, and will be reflected in the next billing cycle.
