The City of Chelsea offers electric, water and sewer services to Chelsea residents and businesses.  A rate schedule is published annually in March.  Rates are established based on budgeted operational costs for those departments which operate as independent financial entities within the City.  Click here for a copy of the current rate schedule.

Utility charges are always due the last business day of the month.  Utility statements are mailed quarterly (unless the account is 'paperless').  Paperless accounts will receive monthly e-mails.

The City of Chelsea offers an online account viewing feature through its utilities system that allows our customers to see charts of their historic usage, check to see if a payment they sent was received or check on the amount of a current bill. With this new feature, customers can even elect to 'go paperless ' and receive email notification that the latest billing information is available online rather than have a printed bill sent. Click the following link to view your utility account . You will need to have your utility account number available.  Click here for a help guide for use in trying our new online account feature.

Wastewater Plant Seasonal Odors

It is the nature of Wastewater Treatment Plants to harbor odors related to the materials they process. Fortunately, the Chelsea Wastewater plant is able to contain those odors for most of the year. However, twice annually—once in Spring and once in Fall—the Wastewater department must transport biosolids from the plant to the agricultural community. The movement of these materials does generate strong odors during that short transition period. Northeast winds can further increase the intensity for brief periods of time. This is a necessary part of maintining a healthy wastewater system and the City appreciates your support during the transfer of biosolids and throughout the year.
