Water Billing Error in Printing.
November 2008

There was an error in the printing of your November water and sewer billing. The “current month’s charges” were doubled – showing the amount in the “current month” and the “past due” balance. Please deduct the “current month’s charges” from your “total due” and that is the amount you should pay. Your balance is correct on our computer system – it is only incorrect on the printed copy of your bill. For our customers on automatic draft, the correct amount of your bill will be drafted on November 10. Thank you for your understanding of this printing error.

Thank you
Town of Mooresville Business Office
