This Forms section introduces you to the features of the many screens you see in the Water System.
 

Water Menu

• Water Master:  A comprehensive list of screens that put all the information about each account at your fingertips.
• Account Adjustments:  Use this form to alter the amount owing for an account.
• Meter Readings:  Use this form to enter the readings collected by the meter reader.
• Bill Adjustments :  Opening and Closing / Final bills are set up using this form.
• Banks:  A simple form that allows you to edit banks' address and contact information.
• Change Bank/Mortgage:  To move all accounts that are using a certain bank to a new bank code, use this form.  This is indeed described on the Banks help page, but it may be hard to find.
• Service Areas:  Areas of the city, perhaps those that are on different water systems, can be entered here.  Each roll is assigned to a service area and the billing reports are broken up by service area.
• Rates :  Allows you to edit the water rates for the different billing types.
• Export Meter Readings:  This tool is used to send property data to a meter reader like the AutoReader.  The import is done using the Import button on the Meters tab of the Water Master.

Additional Reports

Yes, there is a form in this submenu that us generally used to view a report.

• Law Firms/Water Certificates:  Law firms often request a current water account status when a property is sold.  This form is often used to print Water Certificates for rolls that are not in the roll book.

Administration

Most items in the Administration menu are password protected.

• Schedule:  Allows you to change the description for the different billings that show on the Water Certificates .  A picture of the Schedule form can be seen on the Law Firms/Water Certificate help page.
• Transfer Arrears:  Municipalities are allowed to move bill amounts that were billed in the previous year and have not yet been paid to their property tax systems.  Unpaid amounts for non-resident rolls will remain in the water system.
• G/L Accounts:  This will let you choose which accounts are used during the billing and adjustment processes.
• Batches:  This form lets you change the descriptions of each billing batch.  Once the batches are set up, there should be no need to change them unless your bylaws are changed.
