When is my utility bill due?
The current charges due shown on the bill are payable upon receipt of the bill. Current charges are considered delinquent after the date shown as the due date.When is cut-off day for water?
The City of Dunn Water Department disconnects water/sewer service sometime after the 30th of each month. The actual date of disconnection varies from month to month. Therefore, you must check your monthly bill or contact the Water Deparment at (910) 230-3510 for the appropriate date of disconnection.
What if I can’t pay my bill by the due date?
If the amount due for current charges is not paid by the due date, the account will be subject to a 10% late penalty. If the amount due for charges and the late penalty are not paid by the disconnect date, the service will be disconnected and a $35.00 administrative fee will be added to the account. Reconnection will only be made upon the payment of the full amount due including, late penalties and administrative fee charges.

How can I receive a water adjustment on my bill due to a leak?
The City of Dunn Finance Department will adjust two (2) bills per year (from the initial month you receive the first adjustment to the same month the following year) due to water leaks. If you had a leak at your residence or business and the leak has been corrected, please contact the City of Dunn Water Department at (910) 230-3510 or (910) 230-3511. The Water Department will send someone from Public Works to verify the problem has been corrected.
