Water Billing FAQs
What time frame does my water bill cover?
On every water bill located under billing detail you will notice a previous reading date and a current reading date. The billing period covered is between those two dates. Approximately 90 days per quarter.
You may mail or deliver in person your payment to the Receiver of Taxes, 742 Bay Road, Queensbury, NY 12804
What are your hours to collect payment?
The Receiver of Taxes located at town hallcollects payments Monday - Friday between 8:30-4:30. There is a drop box located outside if you can not make it between the hours listed above.
How often do we receive water bills?
Water bills are produced on a quarterly basis. (February, May, August, and November).
What are the water rates for the Queensbury Consolidated Water District?
Your water bill is broken into three categories:
0 - 8,000 gallons = $20.00
Over 8,000 - 4 million gallons = $1.52 for each additional 1,000 gallons
Over 4 million gallons = $0.95 for each additional 1,000 gallons
Your total water bill would be the sum of all three components.
(An example, 9,000 gallons = $20.00 + $1.52=$21.52)
What is the average water bill for a family with two adults and two children?
There is no possible way to measure what an average water bill for a family of four would be. Every family has too many different activities within a home to be able to measure the average usage of a family. Water bills may range from $20 to several hundred dollars per quarter.
Do I need a final water reading if I am selling my property?
Yes. The seller is responsible for the water usage at the home until the day before the closing. To request a final water bill, please call 745-5582, Monday-Friday, 8:00-4:30.
The following information is needed to process the final bill: service address, closing date, the name of the new owner, and the name, telephone number, and fax number of the lawyer representing the seller.
Payment for your water bill is due thirty days from the billing date.
What happens if I do not pay my water bill?
A 10% penalty will be assessed on the current amount after the due date. If any outstanding balance exists at the end of October of that particular year, then the receiver of taxes will relay the amount to your property taxes via Warren County.
