 Sewer Use Bills
    The City of Tonawanda uses water consumption information provided by the Erie County Water Authority as the basis for the annual Sewer Use Bill.  The Sewer Use Bill is an annual charge separate from the City property Tax Bill.  The Sewer Use Bill is payable in four (4) installments due May 31st, July 31st, September 30th, and November 30th - or the next business day if due date falls on a holiday or weekend.   A 10% late charge is applied to each installment if not paid before the due date.  The sewer charge is based on the minimum annual charge of 40,000 gallons.  Effective February 1st of each year, all unpaid sewer amounts are re-levied onto the next City Property Tax Bill. 

Sewer use bills are mailed once a year on May 1st, and include payment stubs for all four installments due May 31st, July 31st, September 30th and November 30th - or the next business day if due date falls on a holiday or weekend.
