Water, Sewer, Garbage, and Recycling within the Town Limits
If you need to set a water account up you may come into the
Holly Ridge Town Hall to do so, which is a satellite office for
ONWASA. You will need to bring a valid I.D., your social
security number, and the house address with you. If the water
is not currently on to the residence and you need it to be on
the same day be sure to come in the office before 2:00 p.m. to
avoid any additional fees. Everyone is required to put a
deposit down for water service. This deposit is based on your
credit. The deposit ranges from $100.00 - $200.00, plus a
$35.00 service fee. We will run a quick credit check which
takes about five minutes and we cannot do this over the
phone. We do not take applications for new water service
after 4:45 p.m.
