Utilities
Utility bills are sent the first week of each month.
There is a bill drop box outside the community center front doors or you may mail your village utility bills to:
Village of Firth
PO Box 38
Firth, NE 68358
Automatic Payment (ACH) is available - call the Village Office at 402.791.5544 for information. (Form available on Documents and Forms page)
Utility bills are due the 25th of the current month. A $25 late fee is assessed on the 26th of the month.
Bills 30 days past due will be sent a shut-off notice.
At that time the patron will have ten (10) days in which to pay the bill (including the $25 late fee).
If the bill is still not paid at the end of this period, water service will be disconnected until the delinquent bill is paid along with a $50 reconnect charge.
