The City accepts cash, checks, money orders and credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express - there is a 3% fee or $2 minimum for all cards). To avoid long lines, customers are encouraged to mail their payment or use our payment drop box located at the entrance to City Hall. (No cash in the drop box please.)

Once water flows through the meter, the consumption charge is the responsibility of the customer (either renter or property owner). The City will verify that the metering equipment is accurately recording usage; however, the City is not responsible for what happens to the water after it goes through the meter. Excessive consumption due to leaks or other accidental or intentional usage will be billed and payable.

Multiple accounts can be written on one check. Please write your account number(s) on the check. Mail your check and payment stub using the return envelope. If you lose the enclosed envelope, mail payment to:
City of Mascotte
100 E Myers Boulevard
Mascotte, FL 34753

First make sure no water is running in or around your house. Do not shut off the valves on any pipes. Next, locate the small triangle on your water meter. If the triangle is rotating then you have a water leak. The faster the triangle moves, the larger the leak.
