General Information

Monthly water consumption records will be obtained by the City of Basehor from the water companies. The City Council determines the rate to be charged per 1,000 gallons each year. The charge is figured and implemented each May.

New residents to Basehor where water consumption history has not been established will be charged a base rate until three consecutive months of water billing can be provided. Residents are allowed to bring in their three most recent water bills for a re-evaluation of that assigned rate. Detailed policy may be reviewed at City Hall upon request during normal business hours of 8:00am-4:30pm. For more information call Kathy Renn at 913-724-1370 ext. 21.

Bills are mailed out the end of the month for that month and are due by the 15th of the following month.  If not paid by the 15th, a delinquent fee of 10% will be added. Payments (check or money order only) can be mailed or placed in our drop box located in the City Hall parking lot. If you are a new resident or moving into the Basehor area you will need to fill out a Utility Service Contract and Information Form and return it to City Hall.
