Jefferson RWD #1 offers a wide variety of convenient payment options for our customers. Simply choose the option that best suits your needs.
Just a friendly reminder, bills are due on the 15th of every month. After this date, a 10% penalty will be applied to the unpaid balance. If not paid by the 6th of each month, the meter will be pulled and a $50.00 reactivation fee added to the account for the first occurrence, and $75.00 will be charged for each occurrence thereafter. We do not grant extensions.
Meter Reading takes place the last two weeks of each month. Bills are mailed out by the last working day of the month. Just because you do not receive a bill does not exempt you from payment. Please call our office to get your balance due, and you may request an additional copy.

Payment Through Financial Institution Online Bill Pay
Many financial institutions such as major banks offer their customers the ability to pay their bills via an online bill payment service (through your bank's website). Normally, these services debit the customer's checking or savings account to pay the bill. Depending on the financial institution, they may or may not charge a fee for the service. Payments may take up to seven business days to post to the customer's account. Please consult with your bank for more information.
