City water bills will be sent on Dec. 21
City water bills will be mailed on Dec. 21 with a due date of Jan. 7. To avoid a 10 percent late fee students may need to pay their bills before they return to Charleston.

Charleston Comptroller, Heather Kuykendall said bills received after Jan.7 will receive a 10 percent late fee attached to their next water bill.

If 10 days late, the water service will be turned off with a $25 service fee applied to the account.

Students can call or visit city hall before the semester and prepay an estimated bill.

Water bills may also be paid over the phone with debit or credit cards by calling (217) 645-8430.

Bills can also be paid online by visiting the www.charlestonillinois.org.

City Hall is located at 520 Jackson Ave.
