💧 Utility Billing Reminder – Missouri Primacy Fee

You will notice an annual "Primacy Fee" on this month's utility bill.

This is not a City of Willard fee. The Primacy Fee is established by Missouri law and is collected by public water systems across the state to fund drinking water testing, inspections, compliance activities, and other programs required to ensure safe drinking water.

The annual fee is:

• $5.28 for customers with a 5/8" to 1" water meter
• $21.00 for customers with a water meter larger than 1"

The fee is billed once each year. While the City is responsible for collecting the fee through your utility bill, all of the funds are remitted to the State of Missouri for the administration of drinking water programs.

If you have questions about the Primacy Fee or your utility bill, please contact City Hall.
