Water-Sewer Increase Resolution

Utility Billing

Utility Bills are mailed quarterly to all Village Water/Sewer Customers. Mailings are typically received in the months of March, June, September, and December. Payments are due the following month. Please refer to your Utility Bill Postcard for exact dates. Not receiving a bill does not waive late charges if paid after the due date. Please note that the Water/Sewer bill is a regular, expected utility bill.

The Village of Fowlerville offers several utility bill payment options:

  • Online
    Payments made online are processed and the activity reflects in your account history. The Village does not accept postmarked envelopes as 'on-time.' Please be advised that payments made through your online financial institution use a third party to process checks requested through their online payment system. In such situations, your money is deducted from your bank account and sent to a third-party processor, not directly to the designated payee. Bills paid through your online banking system may take up to 15 business days to be received by the payee. The Village of Fowlerville must receive your payment by the due date. 
  • In-person
    Payments can be made in person at the front counter. We always enjoy seeing our residents and business owners. Cash, Check, Money Orders, and Credit/Debit Cards (+3% processing fee) are all accepted at the Village Offices. 
  • Mail
    Mail checks payable to "Village of Fowlerville", 213 S. GRAND AVENUE, FOWLERVILLE, MI 48836-9083.  Please write your telephone number and utility bill account number on your check or include the utility bill stub from the bill postcard for reference. Payment will be recorded on the date received - not the date it is mailed, or the date the check is written. Postmarks will not be accepted. Checks are accepted only as a conditional payment. If not honored, and canceled through the bank, the utility bill remains due. If you desire a receipt, please enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope with your payment.
  • After-Hours Drop-Box
    We encourage the use of the after-hours drop-box located at the east end of the municipal parking lot (at the S. Grand Ave. entrance, drivers can drive up to the box with no need of getting out of their vehicles). If you desire a receipt, please enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope with your payment.
  • Secure Phone Transaction
    We are excited to introduce this expanded service to our water/sewer customers and Village taxpayers. You can conveniently and securely make payments over the phone with a live person by using Personal Teller by Point & Pay. Customers and taxpayers can now make payments (eCheck, credit & debit card) for a fixed $5.00 supplemental fee, without the 3% processing charges. 
Point N Pay - Personal Teller Option: Call 877-495-2729 from 8 AM to 11 PM for secure phone transactions


You do not need to receive a bill to pay towards your utility bill. Any payments made will show as a credit on your account until the billing cycle has been processed and mailed. 
For the most up-to-date activity on your account, please call the Village of Fowlerville Municipal Offices or check your account history online. Village Water/Sewer Customers may view their utility bill and complete account history online using the following link: Utility Billing through BS&A Customers do not need to sign up for an account. You can easily use your account number, name, or address to check your Water/Sewer Utility Account online. 

Did you know… 

Quarterly water and sewer utility bills can be sent to you via email instead of traditional mail. Fill out the E-Bill Request Form and return to the Village of Fowlerville if you wish to take advantage of this option. If you have any difficulties accessing the form electronically, please contact the Village Offices and the staff will be happy to provide one to you.

 

E-Bill Program
Water/Sewer Customers have the option of receiving their utility bills via email. When you enroll in the E-Bill Program, you are responsible for ensuring receipt of the emailed bill. Please read the Terms & Conditions carefully to make certain the E-Bill Program is the best choice for you.

Simply complete the E-Bill Enrollment Form available at this link or at the Village Offices front desk. Enrollment requires an authentic signature. We apologize that the program is not completely 'paperless' for security purposes. Once the enrollment form is submitted, the next billing cycle will be electronically sent to you, and you will no longer receive a printed copy of the Water/Sewer Bill through the US Postal Service. ALL electronic bill statements can be saved to your computer or printed for your records. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Village of Fowlerville Offices at your earliest opportunity.

The Village of Fowlerville Fire Hydrant Flushing
The Fowlerville Department of Public Works crew flushes hydrants throughout the Village of Fowlerville in the Spring and Fall. Regular flushing of hydrants serves two purposes: 1., to clean the mineral accumulations naturally deposited in waterlines and 2., to test the function and performance of the fire hydrants. 
The safety of the water we supply is not diminished by this process. If you experience cloudy or discolored water after this seasonal hydrant flushing's, it is recommended that you run an outside water faucet or the cold-water taps within your home/business until clear.
