Paying the Bill

Billing is done on a monthly basis. All bills are mailed on the last working day of the month and should be received no later than the fifth of the month. If you do not received your bill by that date, call the Office for your charges so that you do not lose your 10% early payment discount.

Bills can be paid with the self-addressed enveloped included with your bill. They can be paid in person at our Main Office at 49 Forest Avenue, Hudson, Monday through Friday (holidays excluded) , 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Cash, check and money order payments are accepted at the Main Office.

Payments may also be made in person at the Hudson Town Collector's Office, Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Collector's Office reopens on the date of discount only from 6 to 8 p.m. For more information on the Town of Hudson, see http://www.townofhudson.org

For our customers' convenience, there is a 24-hour drop-off box located at the entrance of our Main Office. A drop-off box is also located at the front of the Hudson Town Hall. For your safety, please do not submit cash payments in the drop-off boxes.

Security Deposits Protect You

Security deposits are required to protect all customers from large outstanding balances when people leave the system. New customers who have proof of ownership of the property are not required to pay a deposit. Established customers with two or more years of a good credit record also are not required to pay a deposit.

Customers with poor credit records will need to pay a deposit when moving from one location to another, regardless of property ownership.

Deposits earn interest annually.  Residential deposits are refunded in February after two years of a good credit record of no late payments. In all other cases, the deposit is applied to the final bill.
