Water/Sewer Bills:

After July 1, 2023, the Manchester Water and Sewer Department will assume the sewer system assets and maintenance of the former 8th District Utilities. Customers in the 8th District will receive invoices that include both water and sewer charges from the Manchester Water and Sewer Department. Sewer charges will be based on water consumption, and invoices will be prorated for the first quarter.

Please note, that the 8th Utilities District offices are closed and there will be no future sewer or tax bills from their offices.
