Water Utilities
How could I have used this much water?
You could possibly have a leaky toilet or faucet that's difficult to detect. Just call the office and we can run an analysis for you to see when the water was used (unless you live in the Mobile Home Park, then you need to contact their maintenance person).
My bill is past due can I get an extension?
Please contact our office and a one-time extension will be extended to you for extenuating circumstances.
What do I do if I am experiencing low pressure?
Call our office and report low pressure for your area. We will send someone from the Public Works Department out to check your meter.
Why do I have a previous balance when I know I sent in my payment?
We may have received it after the due date or we may not have received it at all. Call our office and we will help you solve the problem.
Why is my water discolored?
A repair could have been completed recently allowing air to enter the line, causing the milky look. Run your water for 15 minutes to see if that clears up the water. If it does not, call City Hall and report the issue.
