Do you need help making water or sewer payments?

Maine Housing Authority has created a federally funded program to help income-
eligible Maine residents and renters pay their past due water and/or sewer bills.
Residents and renters may be eligible for a payment of up to $500 to be credited
towards a current or future water/sewer bill. All payments will be made directly to the City of Brewer to be applied to the appropriate account.

To see if you are eligible and to apply, click the “learn more” icon. The City of Brewer also has applications in the Tax Office located on 80 North Main Street.

Sewer and water are billed together on a quarterly basis. Bills are mailed by the Water Department on or around the 1^st of March, June, September and December and are due by the end of that month.

Payment Policy

Unpaid bills

Sewer: Interest is charged on unpaid sewer balances after the end of the month. Some time four months to one year after a bill’s due date, the City will place a lien on the property associated with unpaid sewer balances.
Water: Unpaid water accounts will receive a shut-off notice if the account remains unpaid after the end of the month. After 90 days, the Water Department will place a lien on the property with unpaid water bills.

Outside Water Use

We recognize that many residential customers use water outside during the summer months. If the water used outside does not enter the sewer system, it is possible to receive an adjustment to your sewer bill if you participate in the
Residential Submeter Program.  Click the link to learn more.
