Water Bills

Village meters are read and water bills are issued quarterly, with the exception of the 4^th quarter which is an estimated bill. As the Golf residents are billed quarterly, the Village pays for the water up to 90 days prior to the receipt of the funds from its residents. This makes it essential that the resident’s water bills are paid promptly after issuance. There is a $25 charge that is assessed on unpaid water bills 45 days after the invoice date. If the bill remains unpaid as of 60 days from invoice date, an additional $25 may be assessed and interest will accrue at 1% per month. Water bills may be paid by mail, at Village Hall, or through the Epay system. 

Property transfers

Any outstanding water usage must be paid in full prior to closing. The title holder or person in control of the property must notify the Golf village clerk to obtain a final reading of the water meter. Upon receipt of full payment, the village will issue a certificate of payment (see sections 7-5-2 and 7-5-3 of the Golf Village Code), which must be attached to the deed of conveyance. Failure to obtain a certificate is unlawful and will result in a lien for nonpayment. Please contact the Village of Golf at least two weeks prior to closing to arrange for a meter reading and issuance of the certificate.
