Postal delays caused New Castle County sewer bills to deliver late. New deadline coming up

New Castle County residents, don’t forget that the extended deadline for annual sewer bills is quickly approaching.

In February, New Castle County Executive Matt Meyer announced a three-week extension for annual residential sewer bills due to Postal Service delays in bill delivery.

Bills were not expected to be delivered to county residents until Feb. 16, prompting Meyer to extend the due date of the bills to March 22.

“When our office was alerted that residents had not received their annual sewer bills as expected, we immediately investigated the situation and learned that the delay had been caused by operational changes at the United States Postal Service. County residents should not be held responsible for these delays and so I ordered the three-week extension,” Meyer said.
