Pay My Water/Sewer

The Town of Harrison has implemented a Utility Winter Termination Program to prevent the discontinuation of water and sewer service during the period of November 15th through March 15th for residential customers.  In the event of a water/sewer delinquency during this period, the Town will not shut off utility services. However, any delinquency during this period will continue to accrue interest, and if not paid by November 2023, will be subject to Tax Sale.
