Water and Sewer Tap Fees
If water and/or sewer service is requested for
a new location, a tap fee may be required. Tap fees vary by location. Please
telephone the office for more information. Please remember to contact the
City at least a month in advance which will help ensure service is provided
by your preferred start date.
Deposits
A deposit is the equivalent of two months’ usage at the
location where service is sought. For business deposit alternatives, see
application. Residential applicant information is submitted to a credit
check scoring company to determine if a utility deposit is required. Residential
deposit alternatives include excellent credit references from other utilities
and a guarantor program where a current City of New Bern customer with
excellent credit may choose to accept responsibility for the new applicant’s
bill. The guarantor must visit the office with the new applicant to accept
responsibility at the time of application.
