Once a customer establishes a good payment history with the City of Dover over a two year period for residential, four year period for commercial, they may request the deposit to be applied to their account or refunded. A customer that has a returned payment or has had service disconnected for non-payment in a 12 month period will be charged an additional deposit.

Payments are due 21 days after the bill date and subject to late fees 29 days after the bill date. The due date can be found in the To Avoid Disconnection box.
