Billing
Billing Cycles
The City of Fort Scott is divided into four billing cycles, the 2nd, 9th, 16th, and 23rd of each month. The billing starts on the west side of town and moves east. Your property location within the city determines your billing cycle.Delinquent Bills
Bills are delinquent if not paid by the due date as shown on the bill. Once an account is delinquent, a 10% charge is added to your account and a delinquent/shut off notice is mailed. After one month of a delinquent bill, a red tag will be sent notifying of shut off. Once service is disconnected, a $50 re-connection charge is required to be paid in addition to the bill. Once again, a responsible person will be required to be at the residence for the water to be turned back on.Payment Methods
