Billing & Deposits

Billing

Billing is completed and mailed between the 23rd to the 25th of each month. Payment is due on the 15th of the following month. All customers need to provide proper USPS mailing addresses for billing and utility correspondence.  We do offer email billing.  Please contact the Utility department to set up. (406) 892-4392.

Final Billing

If you are moving or selling your property, please notify the Utility Department at least 48 hours in advance so that a final meter read may be taken and the appropriate party billed for the usage. If you are a renter and your landlord required that you provide a $250 deposit, your final bill will be subtracted from the deposit and any balance remaining will be refunded to you.

Deposits

The City of Columbia Falls does not require a Water/Sewer Deposit from property owners. If you are renting, the property owner, your landlord, may require that you provide the City with a $250 deposit on your account. If required, the City will collect the deposit from you and hold it in your name until your move out. This deposit cannot be applied to your monthly bill. You must keep your monthly bill current.
