When moving to Wilber, you will need to know the following information to set up utilities.
- The City of Wilber requires a completed application and deposit of $250 for utilities. You are required to put at least $125 down and we will put the second half of your deposit on your first bill. ($125). The deposit will be refunded to real estate owners after one consecutive year of non-delinquent utility bills and to renters after two consecutive years of non-delinquent utility bills. The application will need to be taken to the City Office, located at 110 W 3rd Street. Application can be printed by clicking here.
- There is a new account service charge of $10 on electric and $5 on water which will be on your first month’s bill.
- Electric, Water, Sewer and Garbage are billed monthly.
- The electric meters are read on or around the 15th of each month.
- The water meters are read quarterly (March, June, Sept & Dec) – during the months the water meters are not read, the usage is estimated. Therefore, on the months when water is read you may see an increase or a credit if the estimate was too much or too little.
- The bills are sent to you on the last day of that month. The bill is due by the 10th of the month and considered late after the 20th of the month. If the bill is not paid by the 20th, there will be a $10 late charge for electric, $5 on water and $5 on sewer.
