Utility Customer Support Program
In an effort to assist customers who have fallen behind on their accounts during the Covid-19 Pandemic, the Board of Commissioners has adopted a Utility Customer Support Program to assist rate payers in bringing their accounts current. The program includes allowing 30 days from the end of the Governor's Proclamation related to late payment restrictions for customers to either pay their account balance in full or execute a 12 month "Deferred Payment Agreement". The District will also make a list of resources available where customers may be able to get assistance in paying some or all of the outstanding balance. Please click the links below for details on the adopted program and additional resources.
Thank you,
Valley Water District
District's adopted Utility Customer Support Program
Covid-19 Deferred Payment Agreement
The Deferred Payment Agreement Program will not be available until after the Governor's Proclamation prohibiting late fees and disconnects is lifted. The District strongly encourages you to make any payments that you can towards the balance owing and future billings on your account, so that when the Proclamation is lifted you are not behind on your payments.
Once the Governor's Proclamation is lifted, property owners with an outstanding past due balance will receive an individual notice informing them of the COVID-19 Customer Payment Assistance Program and will have 30 days to sign up for the Deferred Payments.

When Valley Water District purchased the original water systems in 1994, money was borrowed for acquisition costs and funds were obtained via Public Works Trust Fund Loans to finance immediate needs to remedy the water systems. In 1998, the District closed on the sale of a bond and paid off loans and bank notes associated with the start-up of the District.

Every property with a connection to a District water system is billed equally for the cost of the acquisition and ongoing improvements. Customers of water systems that joined the District after the initial start-up are billed similarly for costs related to the acquisition of their water system.
