Two November 2 Deadlines to Put on the Calendar Now

Monday, November 2, is a date worth marking now, with two separate deadlines and start dates landing on the same day.

Waterline assessment bills are due November 2, payable at the Tax Collector's Office at Town Hall. Residents with a waterline assessment should check their bill and make sure payment reaches the Tax Collector by the due date.

The same day, fuel deliveries begin under the Connecticut Energy Assistance Program (CEAP), the state's program that helps eligible households with heating costs. Households already in the program can expect deliveries to start from November 2.

November 2 sits right between the end of early voting on Sunday, November 1, and Election Day on Tuesday, November 3, so it is easy for a bill due date to slip past in a busy week. Putting both items on the calendar now leaves the rest of the week clear for voting plans.

For the waterline bill in particular, the due date is fixed to the calendar rather than to the election schedule, so it will not move because the week is busy. Households that are unsure whether a waterline assessment applies to them, or whether their energy assistance case is active for this winter, can check the bill itself or contact the relevant office at Town Hall before the date arrives, rather than waiting until the due date itself.

Later in the same week, Brookfield hosts its household hazardous waste drop-off on Saturday, November 7, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Brookfield High School, 45 Long Meadow Hill Road — another date worth holding for anyone clearing out the garage or basement before winter.
