New Meter Sets

Minimum Bill

A required minimum bill is due on newly set meters for a period of 1 year from date of set even if a meter is not in service.  It is up to the customer to contact our office after one year to stop billing.

All water meter boxes will be set at ground level.  Any earth movement which will require raising or lowering of boxes will require additional charges.  Meter must be kept accessible to Southeastern Water at all times.
