Water and Sanitary Sewer Service

The city does not have its own source of potable water but purchases approximately 1.5 million gallons per day from Manatee County and pumps the water to all homes and business within the city limits.

Numerous tests are conducted to ensure that the water meets all the requirements of Federal and State regulations for safe drinking water.

Wastewater is collected in the sewage collection system and pumped to the City's wastewater treatment plant for treatment.  The City has 65 miles of water main pipes and 46 miles of sewer main pipes.

For Water and Sewer Service:

The Customer Service Division is located in Palmetto City Hall.  The Customer service representatives handle turn on/off of water/sewer service as well as meter reading, checking for leaks and repair/replacement of residential meters.

A deposit is required for Water and sewer service.  You must provide a social security number or resident alien ID number and picture identification as well as proof of ownership or rental.

The utility payment history of new applicants for service will be checked.  If there is a history of delinquent payments or if someone has left another utility owing money, they may be required to place a deposit DOUBLE the usual amount.

Your water meter will be read once per month.  Your bill will be mailed either on the 15th or the last day of the month, depending on cycle/route.  Bills are due and payable on the 16th day following the date of your bill.  Bills not paid when due are subject to a 10% late penalty and service will be terminated after 45 days.  You will be charged $20 for restoration of service.  In addition, the bill must be paid in full.  Charge for meter tampering is $50.

If you anticipate a problem with payment of your utility bill, call the Customer Service Supervisor at (941) 723-4570.

 

These rates may or may not be current.  For current rates and information please contact the Customer Service Department at City Hall.   Ph# (941) 723-4570
