Water bill due dates vary based upon the day of the week but, as a rule, water bills are due by the last Tuesday of each month without penalty.

Final Utility Bills Final water bills are calculated using the meter reading taken at the time water department staff goes to a residence or commercial building and take a reading. The water and sewer capital charges are pro-rated based upon the number of days of the final month the customer occupies the building. To obtain a final meter reading, contact the Village offices at 248-634-9571. Please allow a minimum of 48 hours for scheduling.

Outside (Sprinkler) Meters The Village of Holly does allow for the installation of an outside secondary water meter for non-potable water. This outside meter is generally for lawn sprinkling or watering purposes. This secondary meter is not charged the monthly capital charge and is exempt from sewer consumption charges due to the water not going through the Village sewer system. The Village does not install these meters, residents and/or businesses must utilize a licensed plumber for their installation. A permit and inspection is required.
Contact the Village offices at 248-634-9571 for more information.
