Estimated Bills
As you may know, the Village of Bellaire Department of Public Works staff have been installing new equipment to read water meters since October of 2024. We have many accounts that have been estimated for several months due to the equipment not being installed yet. Due to this estimation, when an actual reading is obtained the usage may go up if the account was underestimated for several months.Following the Michigan Public Service Commission’s rules, when a bill is estimated for two or more consecutive months, the customer must be given the same number of months to pay the bill when an actual reading is obtained.What this means: If you receive a bill with a large amount of usage after being estimated for several months, you have that same number of months to pay that billed amount penalty free. Any new usage after the actual reading is obtained will be penalized appropriately.
