LATEST CITY NEWS & UPDATES

The city of Sterling Heights is switching to monthly water bills!

On July 1, all residents received a water bill. You can view the chart above that breaks down what months your July bill covers based on if your previous bill came in May or June! If you received your bill for the first time in July, you will be billed for the last three months of usage.

In August 2022, the City will officially transition all residents to monthly billing. Your bill amount will now cover just the previous month's water usage! This transition will allow you to better manage your water bill, like you do most other utilities.

You can find all the info you need to know on our website!
