Yes! The water that you receive from the Middletown Water Department is very safe to drink. We constantly monitor and test your drinking water. For additional information see our Water Quality Reports.

Residential users are billed four times a year; once in February, May, August and November. Larger water consumers and commercial customers are billed monthly.

Bills should be paid within 30 days from the first of the month in which you are billed.  Bills become delinquent 30 days past the due date and interest will be charged at the rate of 1.5% per month or fraction thereof.  If you choose to pay online, be sure to set up your auto pay before the February 1^st, May 1^st, August 1^st, and November 1^st billing dates to avoid late payment fees.  

There may be several reasons that your usage could be unusually high.  One of the most common issues is a leaking toilet or other leaky plumbing fixtures.  Please review Ways to Reduce Your Bill for more information.  If you still have questions, please call out Billing Division at 860-638-3501.

Please contact the Manager of Regulatory and Technical Affairs for all Water Quality complaints by calling 860-638-3545.
