Utility Billing
Utility bills are mailed on the first day of each month and are always due on the 15th day of each month. If the 15th falls on a weekend or a holiday, payment is due no later than 8:00am on the next business day to be considered on time. Payments received after the 15th of the month are subject to a 10% penalty charge. Beginning October 1, 2019, the Village of Swanton will no longer mail Past Due notices. To check the status of your account 24/7, you may call 877-493-5091 or click here to log in to your account.
Unpaid bills may result in utility services being shut off. Shut offs will occur on the 2nd of the month following billing. If the 2nd falls on a weekend or holiday, shut offs will occur the next business day. Late payments must be received no later than 8:00 a.m. on the 2nd of the month to avoid disconnection of service that day. If the 2nd falls on the weekend or holiday, payments must be received by 8:00 a.m. the next business day to avoid disconnection of service that day. Water service will not be restored until payment in full, including the disconnection fee, is received at the Village Municipal Building.
