CLOSING BILLS
At the time that a residence changes ownership or tenancy, the seller or tenant should read the six digits on the face of the water meter, on the last date of responsibility. Anytime after the reading is obtained, the read is to be called in to the Water Department, along with the mailing address information.
When a business changes ownership or tenancy, an appointment can be requested for the Water Department to obtain an actual meter reading as of the final date of responsibility.
If the property is connected to city sewer, but not to the water system, the seller (or tenant) should notify the Water Department with the last date of responsibility and the mailing address for the sewer bill.
For water billing, new water or sewer service, water service shut off, or troubleshooting problems, call (248) 796-4850. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
