The Village of Bluffton has issued the following notice:

Dear Bluffton Utility Customer,

This letter serves as notice of a significant change to the billing cycle for the Bluffton utility bill you receive each month.  The billing cycle is being adjusted to reflect water usage for each calendar month of the year, opposed to the current method that combines usage from the mid-point of each month.

This will result in a NEW DUE DATE for utility bills that will begin in March of 2022.
