How can I owe a delinquent water bill at the Treasury Department when my DWSD statement shows a credit?
As stated above, DWSD removed the delinquent water/sewer amount from the customer’s bill when it was referred to property taxes. That transaction was identified as a “CR” or credit on the bill. It simply means that it was taken off the water bill to be added to the property tax bill if not timely paid. Additionally, any payment of the delinquent amount mailed directly to DWSD and not to the Treasury Department was applied to any balance owed on the bill at that time. If the payment amount was more than the balance owed, a credit was issued and posted to the current water/sewer bill for the amount left over. This credit will be applied to the customer’s current water/sewer bills until it is exhausted.
