Once you have the application completed, please print and sign the application and bring it into the Village Office located at 122 E. Pike St., Jackson Center, OH 45334.

Deposit

Property owners may present a copy of their deed to avoid paying a utility deposit. Persons renting a facility will need to pay a $300 deposit before service is established.

Utility Billing

Utility bills are mailed on the first of each month and are due on or before the 15th of the month. If utility bills are not paid on or before the 15th, a 10% penalty is added to each utility charge. If the 15th falls on Saturday or Sunday, you will have until 10:00 A.M. on the following Monday to make payment without penalty. If we do not receive your payment until after 10:00 A.M., late charges will be applied. We apply all the payments that have been received in our drop box before 10:00 A.M. and those received in our Post Office Box before 10:00 A.M. before we apply penalties.

If your payment is not received by the end of the month or if you have not called to make arrangements to pay your bill, your utilities will be shut off and your account will be assessed a re-connect fee until you make arrangements to get your balance paid.
