Billing Practices

The City of Del Mar bills its utility customers on a bi-monthly basis (every two months) and each account is billed for a two-month period of service. If you begin service in the middle of a billing period, all charges are prorated.

All new customers must submit a completed application (PDF). A deposit, based on meter size, will be billed to the account on the first billing statement. The deposit will be refunded after 12 consecutive bills (two years) with a good payment record. Any balance remaining is returned when an account is closed.

Charges paid after the due date are subject to a ten percent late fee. Payments must be received on or before the past due date noted on the face of the bill. (Postmarks are not sufficient.) Services terminated due to non-payment will be subject to additional charges. Charges will continue to accrue until you notify the city to discontinue service.
