City of Martinsville recently issued the following announcement.

With the new procedures, bills will be issued each week for a different part of the city. Specifically, customers whose account begin with:
1, 2, 3, or 4 will be billed the first week of the month
5, 6, 7, 8, or 17 will be billed the second week of the month
9, 10, 11, or 12 will be billed the third week of the month
13, 14, 15, 16, 18, or 19 will be billed the fourth week of the month
During the first month of the transition, those in the first group may receive two bills within days of each other.

Even with the transition, customers will still only be billed for the previous four weeks’
usage.

be the only month when customers will receive two bills and moving forward billing will be monthly and current
