McMinnville Water Department has made a change in its billing dates that has affected about half of its customers. Check the due date on your water bill or risk being late.“We are giving customers until Nov. 1 to get used to their new billing date,” said McMinnville Public Works director Bill Brock, who is also interim director of the Water Department. “If you are one of the customers who is affected by the change, we are waiving the late fee until then.”The department is going back to the way things used to be.“About four years ago, we had four sections of the city and we billed one section each week,” said Brock.
