The Coolfont Mountainside Association manages its own private water distribution and sewage treatment systems. The utility is managed as Coolfont Mountainside Association Water & Sewer (CMAWS). All homes in Coolfont Mountainside Association are provided water by CMAWS and nearly every home is connected to the CMAWS sewage treatment system.

CMAWS falls under the WV Public Service Commission and its rates are regulated by the WVPSC. Owners are billed quarterly in early March, June, September, and December for the preceding quarter’s usage. Bills are based on a per gallon rate, with the minimum charge being for 3,000 gallons (each of water/sewer). Invoices are emailed to owners unless they specifically request paper billing. The current billing rates (tariffs) are provided below.

For questions about water and sewer accounts, please contact the CMA Bookkeeper, Brenda Close, at (304) 258-4742 or brenda@btm.cpa. Please provide your lot number. 

Payments

Owners can use the handy “Pay Now” link, embedded in their invoice email, to pay water and sewer bills online. You can use a credit card, debit card, or bank transfer (ACH). There are no fees to the owner (the Association pays any fees). Using a bank transfer (ACH), or e-check, saves the Association payment processing fees.

Owners always have the option to mail a check or pay in person. If mailing payment, please be sure your mail is postmarked before the invoice due date to avoid late fees.
