NOTE: SCA Fees are the Responsibility of the Property Owner, not a Renter.
Renters may pay through agreement with their landlord but the owner, not the renter, is responsible to cover fees.  Exceptions to this policy are mailboxes, pledges, mulch, straw bales, and RO water which the renter pays for.  For more information, please contact the SCA Office Manager and Bookkeeper at 815-256-2200, e-mail: sca@stelle.net.

Items and quantities on the monthly billing statement will vary due to landlord/renter agreements, number of water meters, and building vs. vacant lot.
