Advance payments are based on 2/12 of the annual historic bill. No interest will be paid on any advance payment held by the Town. When a history is not available, an estimate of the annual bill will be made. Advance payments will be applied to final bills and the remaining balance (if any) refunded after discontinuance of service for non-owners and out-of-town property owners.
