Public Works Service Rates

Your monthly bill includes water and sewer usage, and garbage pick-up. Water bills are due 10 days after you receive your statement. A $25.00 late fee will be charged to your account if the bill is delinquent by two (2) months. The water charge is set based on the volume of water used each month.

For your convenience, you may pay your bill online. The City of Sedalia is pleased to provide Direct Debit Payment Processing for water, wastewater, and trash customers. This auto-draft program is a convenient way for customers to pay their bills automatically every month. For further information, view the application below.

We also have an after-hours dropbox for payments (check and money order only). The dropbox is a blue box very similar to a mailbox. It is located by the big yellow generator on the south side of the Municipal Building.
