WATER and Sewer SERVICES

Water and Sewer Services can be established by completing an application for service and submitting to the City along with a copy of your I.D. and a deposit of $200. An application can be found below. Your deposit is held on the account until the account is closed. At that time the deposit will be used for any balance owed or a refund check will be mailed to the forwarding address.  

All utility payments are due on the 15th of each month.  A late fee is added to your account on the 16th of the month if payment has not been received. To avoid service interruption and a reconnect fee, payments must be received on the 26th of each month by 9 am. 

• Trim bushes, trees and grass that block the way to, or cover the water meter.  In an effort to avoid any accidental damage to your vegetation, please avoid planting landscape items in the area which your meter readers must travel to read your meter.                
• Please make sure that no objects are placed so that they cover or block access to the meter box.
• If your meter is located behind a gate that is normally kept locked, please contact City Hall to arrange access.   
• Please remember, your meter is located in the City's right of way and if repairs are needed the City is not held responsible for replacing or repairing any private property located in the right of way.                
• Please ensure your house address is clearly displayed on your residence. 

  Waste and Recycling Services are provided by Republic Waste and reflected on your monthly utility bill. Services are performed on Thursday of each week. To ensure all trash is picked up, waste must be contained in a bin or tightly closed bag. Loose items will not be picked up. All items intended for disposal should be placed curbside by 7 am on Thursday of each week. Bulk pick-up can be scheduled by contacting Republic Waste.

Guide to Recycling   

Recyclable materials can be placed loose in the plastic bin and do not need to be sorted by material type (this includes newspapers, magazines, plastics and glass). Please make sure that all bottles, jars and cans are rinsed and lids are removed before putting them into the recycling bin.
