FAQs
Billing
Can I pay my utility bill on line?
Yes! You visit the Town of Delmar website, www.townofdelmar.us, and there is a payment link available. Just follow the instructions to submit your payment to your account. We will receive your payment the following business day.
Why is my utility bill higher than normal?
Our billing is based upon usage. Consequently, if a leak has occurred such as a broken pipe, dripping sinks or showers, and/or a running toilet this would create an increase of usage thus your bill will be higher. Also, if you have had a change of family status this would also create your bill to increase. The Town of Delmar has replaced 98% of all meters within Town. The new meters have the ability to detect a leak as well provide detail reports of usage if you have any concerns about your increase of usage.
