If your water service has been disconnected for non-payment, the final amount of the bill plus a turn-on fee must be paid to restore service. No personal checks are accepted for this service. To make an online payment, please call Customer Service at 630-620-5920.
The Village of Lombard disconnects water for non-payment every Wednesday. The Billing Department mails three (3) statements with a final payment date listed on the third notice. In addition, the Billing Department attempts to make a reminder phone call to the primary number listed on the account before disconnection of service. All delinquent payments must be received by close of business (4:30 p.m.) on the date listed on the shut off (3rd) notice. This allows customers 50-55 days to make payments before their account becomes delinquent and is subject to disconnection.
A list of the delinquent accounts is generated by the Billing Department. The list is given to the Water Department staff to create a route for disconnection of water services. The Water Department staff disconnects the water service to all residents on the list. After all turn-offs are completed, the Water Department will begin to reinstate services on those accounts that have made the appropriate payment. Payments are accepted and updated as received. This process will continue throughout the day so that customers who pay by close of business (4:30 p.m.) will have their service reinstated that same day. If you make a payment after 4:30 p.m., your service will not be restored until the next business day; once verification of payment can be made. Payments CANNOT be accepted in the field by the water service person. Please review the payment options.
NOTE: Utility Billing Staff can be reached by phone (630) 620-5920 between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Please contact the office by phone when making an online payment to verify receipt of payment.
