Service Applications, Water Rates & Policies

Listed below, you will find the Village of Mackinaw current water and sewer rates and policies. If you do not find the information you need, please contact our office and we will provide it for you. 

Water rates are $27.85 for the first 1,500 gallons used. $7.60 is charged for each 1,000 gallons used after 1,500 gallons.

Sewer rates are $8.00 for each 1,000 gallons used.

To read your bill and understand your charges. Our system converts all reads into 100's versus 1,000's. For example, if you have a usage of 60 you have actually used 6,000 gallons. You can take your usage and follow the example:

(Water)

60 - 15 = 45

15 = $27.85 (minimum bill from 0-15 usage)

45 x $.760 = $34.20

$34.20 + $27.85 = $62.05

(Sewer) 

60 x $.800 = $48.00

Total bill due: $110.05

Meters are read the 20th of each month by Village of Mackinaw Public Works employees.  They take actual readings of the meters for billing. Bills are mailed the 1st of each month and are due on the 20th of the same month.

Bills reflect water and/or sewer usage from the previous month.
