The Town of Encampment will have two changes affecting the cost of services that went into effect July 01, 2024. They will be reflected on your July 31st bill.
1. The sewer rate will increase $3.00 per month due to significant operational changes and cost increases.
2. The base allowance for water will be lowered from 10,000 gallons per month to 7,000 gallons per month. Use over that 7,000 gallons will be billed at a flat $3.50 per 1,000 gallons. Significant cost increases for treatment are also affecting the water rates. Rather than have a blanket rate increase, we seek to encourage conservation.
PLEASE BE ADVISED, IF YOU MAKE YOUR PAYMENT THROUGH A BILL PAY SERVICE YOU WILL NEED TO INCREASE YOUR PAYMENT BY $3.00, AND WATCH TO SEE IF FUTURE BILLS ARE IMPACTED BY CHANGES IN WATER BILLING PRACTICES.
If you have any questions about how these changes might affect your account or if you would like to discuss how much water you are currently metering, please contact the Town Hall at 307-327-5501.

Carbon County ALERT
Carbon County is able to send you emergency alerts via text message, email, pager, or voice mail (in extreme cases), based on your preferences. It is important that they collect this contact information because many households no longer utilize traditional land-based telephone lines.
The system is intended to be used for emergency alerts, as well as non-emergency incidents that may have significant impacts to residents. Emergency Alerts could be related to specific hazards that require some kind of action be taken such as evacuation, shelter in place, boil water orders, etc. Non-emergency alerts could include significant transportation problems with prolonged impacts or significant ongoing police or fire activity. This list is not meant to be all inclusive, and demonstrates that this system will not be used for routine information. In addition to receiving information on your wireless device, you may also receive notification on your land telephone line (if you have one) depending on the type of incident or event.
