The town’s posted sequence
Altavista’s utility alert says October bills were mailed October 1, are due October 15 and receive delinquent penalties October 25. It also says accounts unpaid by the end of November 4 will be added to the cutoff list for November 5.
These are town-posted checkpoints, not a statement about any particular customer balance.
Missing mail does not settle the account
A customer who has not received a bill should use the official Town Hall contact before the due date rather than assume no amount is due. The controlling account record, accepted payment methods and any formally granted arrangement matter more than a screenshot or reminder copied outside the town website.
Ask before penalty or cutoff
If the account appears wrong or payment will be difficult, contact the town through its official channel while there is time to review options. This article cannot waive a penalty, extend a deadline, confirm receipt of money or promise that service will continue.
Keep the actual payment confirmation and any written town response.
