Invoice Number - The number for the
invoice mailed to you. Your payment will be applied to this invoice first.
Invoice Date – This is the date of the most current
open invoice. Your invoices will be dated every three or six months. It depends on when the
property was connected to sewer. For accounts/properties connected prior to 2007 the invoices
are dated every six months. Those connected in 2007 and after are dated every three months.
Billing Period – The period the invoice covers.
The capacity charge is a monthly charge billed in arrears; the months being billed with this
invoice are included in the billing period.
Remaining Balance – This is the total capacity charge amount
remaining for this property. It consists of all outstanding invoices including Past Due Balance,
the Invoice Amount For This Billing Period and the Future Invoices for the remaining 15-year billing
period.
Discounted Early Payoff Amount – This is the amount to pay if you wish to
pay your account off in full with one lump sum payment. It is the present value of all outstanding
invoices. A discount rate of 5.5% per annum is used. The capacity charge is not like a mortgage when
you pay extra, the payment is applied to the principal and the term of your payments is shortened.
The only way to take advantage of the discounted early payoff amount is to make the full lump sum
payment. If an extra payment is included it will be applied to future invoices. This may delay
your next invoice.
Past Due Balance – If an amount is listed, it means there are
previous invoices that have not been paid. Past Due invoices are subject to a 10% late fee and interest
in accordance with King County Code No. 28.84.050.
Invoice Amount For This Billing Period – The amount billed for the
dates listed. If the bill covers three months the invoice will be for the monthly rate times three.
For example, a single family home connected to sewer in 2008 is charged $46.25 per month for each of
the three months or $138.75.
Amount Due At This Time – This is the total of the
Past Due Balance and the Invoice Amount For This Billing Period. It is the amount that needs to be
paid to be current on the account.
Due Date – This is the date the payment is due to avoid late charges.
It is 30 days after the Invoice Date.
