Frequently Asked Questions

Q: When is my bill due and how long do I have to pay it?
A: Bills are due upon receipt, which will be the first of each month. However, they are not delinquent until after the 15th. Service will be disconnected if payment is not received by the 25th.

A: Call 417-667-8512

Q: How is my sewer bill calculated?
A: Each month, our office sends your usage to the City of Nevada. They determine your bill by the gallons of water you used, not on a seasonal average.

Q: Can my water be disconnected if I don’t pay my sewer bill?
A: Yes. If you do not pay your sewer bill, by intergovernmental contract between the City of Nevada and CPWSD#1, we have to disconnect your service. Should this happen, service cannot be restored until your sewer bill is current and a $75.00 reconnect fee is paid to CPWSD#1

Q: Why do I have to pay a deposit if I have a good credit history?
A: All rural customers are required to pay a deposit.
