If your home or commercial building is connected to the Town of Canton’s sewer system, the property is subject to an annual sewer usage bill. Residential properties are charged a flat rate per living unit and commercial buildings are charged based on water consumption figures provided by the water company. The rates are reviewed each April by the Water Pollution Control Authority. If a change is adopted, the ‘RESOLUTION OF SEWER USAGE AND CONNECTION CHARGES’ is updated. Included in this resolution is the schedule of adopted annual sewer usage charges/rates for the upcoming fiscal year beginning July 1 and ending June 30.
The Tax Collector is responsible for the billing and collection of the sewer usage bills. Sewer usage bills are mailed ONCE A YEAR at the end of September. Beginning October 1, 2025, all properties connected to the sewer system will be issued one bill that will be payable in two installments. The first installment will become due October 1st and the second installment will become due April 1st. No bill will be sent for the second installment. If you would like to sign up for a courtesy email reminder to pay the second installment, please click HERE then type in your email address, check off the Sewer Use Payers box and click JOIN.
In order to avoid a penalty, payment must be postmarked, hand delivered during regular business hours or made online within 30 days of the due date. Failure to pay in a timely manner will result in an interest charge of 18% a year, reverting to each due date. The minimum interest charge is $2.00.

If I demolish my house, how do I discontinue the services?

I spend several months out of state. Do I have to pay a full year of service?
