City Utilities

Each customer must establish the City's utility services (water/sewer/trash). That can be done in person at City Hall, 201 S. Franklin St., or online by clicking here. A deposit is required at the time of application for service along with showing proof of proper identification. The following are the minimum deposits:

Residential Property Owner - $80.00
Residential Tenant - $180.00
Commercial - Based on the type of business and historical usage

Deposits are not transferable from one customer to another. Service is connected by appointment only. The resident, landlord, or realtor must be present at the service address at the time of appointment to connect the water service. Appointments are required to be made at least one-half day in advance.

Water service connections will be done during regular customer service hours only: Monday - Friday, 8:00 am - 4:30 pm, excluding holidays.
