Customers can also arrange to be set up as an automatic bank payment customer wherein bank payment of the utility bill is made automatically each quarter.
The Water Utility will also accept credit card payment of bills (MasterCard and Discovery Card only). Credit card payments must be made in person and are only accepted at the Utility Office. A service fee is applied. More information.
Another fixed charge on the typical water bill is identified as a “PFP” charge or ‘public fire protection’ cost of service. The PFP charge is also based upon the meter size and currently amounts to $5.10 per quarter for the typical residential customer. The PFP charge is one that covers the Utility’s cost to provide fire hydrants and oversized water mains necessary for public fire protection services.
Please note that other than the Utility Office, no pay stations will accept payment of utility bills after the 20th day of month following the billing date.
Scheduled sprinkling should be performed in accordance with the 'odd-even' rule. Customers with odd-numbered addresses should sprinkle on odd-numbered days. Customers with even-numbered addresses should sprinkle on even-numbered days. To determine the 'odd-even' designation, use the last digit in the property address.
The customer should call the Water Utility at (262) 375-5330 to discuss the nature of the high water usage and schedule an appointment for Utility personnel to investigate possible causes for the high water usage.
Utility personnel will typically determine the general location of the problem and what corrective efforts are required. If a sewer obstruction is identified as being in the street/public sewer main, the Utility will quickly correct the situation. If the sewer obstruction is identified to be between the home and the sewer main connection, the customer or property owner will be advised of his/her responsibility for this matter. In this case it typically involves a need for sewer lateral maintenance or repair.
1. The Village of Grafton water supply is characterized as a “very hard” water. Chemically speaking, this means it contains high levels of calcium carbonate. During the heating process, calcium carbonate will normally ‘precipitate out’ from water and cause a scale build-up that adheres to surface. Grafton adds a polyphosphate chemical to its water supply that normally inhibits the precipitation or ‘scaling’ process; however, as temperature rises (i.e. during the water heating process), the effectiveness of the polyphosphate chemical is reduced).
2. Coffee and/or tea contain a derivative called “tannin”. This is the ‘color’ which leaches out during the preparation process. When the polyphosphate chemical becomes less effective during the heating process and fails to condition the water hardness (prevent scaling), the tannin from the coffee or tea reacts as a substitute conditioner and in effect, forms the ‘oily film’ which becomes evident on the surface of your coffee or tea.
