Water / Sewer / Refuse Billing
Accounts are billed every two months, depending on your account number and the months of consumption. In January, the cycle begins by billing usage for November and December for account numbers beginning with 3, 4 and 6. In February, the next cycle bills usage for December and January for account numbers beginning with 1, 2 and 5. This frequency is followed for these account groups for the remainder of the year.
 
Water meters are read beginning on the second and the 16th of each month. Bills are issued after the Public Works field staff has collected meter reading information. This reading process takes an average of four days. Those account numbers beginning with 1, 3, 5 and 6 are billed from readings that are performed during the first week of the cycle month, and account numbers beginning with 2 and 4 are billed from readings that take place the third week of the cycle month. The due date of the bill is 30 days from the billing date. This will vary depending on the completion of the meter readings.
 
If you should have questions regarding the rates calculated on your account bill, please contact Oscar Munoz at 847-587-2151 or by email at munozo@foxlake.org.  Please see the reversed side of your bill for complete billing / payment policies and procedures.
 
Billing may be paid at the Reception Desk during Village Hall business hours, by phone with a Visa or MasterCard, by mail, or by using the after-hours drop box in the Village Hall entry way.
