Water & Sewer Billing Information

Did you know that the Village of Milford has been providing its residents with water service since 1895? With over 1 million gallons of water stored in two water towers, residents enjoy an uninterruptible supply of water. Every effort is taken to ensure the safety and quality of the water supply. Weekly testing, continuing education and training, and participating in the Wellhead Protection Program are just some of the ways that Milford makes sure that the water will be safe and plentiful for years to come.  

The Village has approximately 2,500 accounts, which use about 200 million gallons of water each year. The Village pumps on average 15 million gallons of water a month during the winter and 20 million gallons a month during the summer, proof that there are a lot of residents who take pride in their yards! And for all those who use water outside, the Village offers a sewer credit program. Residents are asked to fill out a simple form to request the credit. The Watering Credit Form must be filled out every year a credit is requested. The Village compares the actual summer usage to the average winter usage for the account, and approves a credit on the sewer charges on a percentage of the additional use. While the Village cannot guarantee that the credit request will be processed before the due date of the bill, if the form is submitted no later than September 1 of each year, the credit is usually approved or denied by the billing due date.  The form is available at the Village offices or under the "Permits & Forms" section of this website.


The Village also offers a direct payment program at no cost to residents. Payments are automatically deducted from your checking or savings account on the date the bill is due. A bill is still mailed to you but is for your records only. All that is needed is to complete the Direct Payment Enrollment Form and return to our office, the program will start with your next bill.  If you are interested in having your bill emailed that can be done as well, just fill out the E-Bill Authorization Form. Call (248) 684-1515 for more information on enrolling in the program or email sandys@villageofmilford.org.

Of the 2,500 accounts, 2,100 are for residential use, 200 for commercial use and 200 for irrigation use.  Residents should all have smart meters inside their homes that remotely transmit their water usage to the Village offices; if for some reason you do not have a smart meter because you are building a new home or otherwise, please call Angie Hiney at (248) 685-3055 or email ahiney@villageofmilford.org to make an appointment to have one installed.
