Water and Sewer Services
New utility customers apply for services at City Hall. To complete the application process and open an account, new customers must present current, valid identification and pay a $100 fee if service is in city limits; fee is $50.00 for customers living outside the city limits. The city accepts cash, checks (with ID), credit and debit card payment. Water is usually turned on within 24hrs.
Utility bills are mailed to customers the last day of the month and due the 15th of the month. Customers paying after the 15th will be assessed a $10.00 late fee. Cut off for non-payment takes place after the 15th.
If a customer is disconnected (cut-off) due to nonpayment or submitting a bad check, he/she will be responsible for paying the balance in full AND an additional $40.00 reconnection fee. For the customer submitting a bad check, there is an additional fee of $35.00 (as well as the reconnection fee of $40.00 and the amount of the original bill).
If a customer desires to have his/her services terminated (cut-off), he/she will need to complete a cut-off form at City Hall. Failure to fill out the form will result in the customer continuing to be billed until such time that the services are terminated with the proper documentation. The City will apply the deposit toward the final bill once the customer completes the cut-off form. The City will refund any remaining balance of the deposit when all utility charges have been paid in full.
