Sanitary districts
Northfield Sanitary District No. 1 and No. 2
Two sanitary districts serve parts of Northfield. Each is its own unit of government with its own records, its own bank account, and its own governing structure. They provide different services and they are not departments of the Town.
Which one applies to you? District No. 1 is water. District No. 2 is sewer. A bill from one is not a bill from the other. If you are not sure which serves your property, ask the Clerk.
Sanitary District No. 1
Northfield Sanitary District No. 1 is a municipal water utility. It supplies metered drinking water to customers in its service area and maintains hydrants for public fire protection.
District No. 1 provides water only. Sewer service is provided by Sanitary District No. 2, a separate district.
Water emergency
For a water main break, loss of service, or low pressure, call the district's waterworks operator, Don Hart, (715) 896-9109. If you cannot reach him, call the Town Clerk at (301) 752-0774.
If there is flooding or any immediate danger to health or property, call 911 first.
Paying your bill
The district bills quarterly. Invoices are mailed March 1, June 1, September 1, and December 1. Water is metered, so your bill reflects what the meter recorded. The service period and the amount due are shown on the invoice.
