Water Samples Report

From City Hall:

*A new billing system is being installed. When SUBS is fully functional, you will have an option to receive your bill through text or email. If you want to receive bills, notices on boil orders, emergencies, low water pressure or no water, you must add your phone number and email address to your account at City Hall.

*Applications for United Fiber service are available at City Hall during business hours.

*City man, Mike Reasoner, will be marking the water meters during November so the GIS mapping can be done in December.

*Your water bill will be arriving in an envelope along with electronic billing information. This form will allow you to view your bill electronically, if you want.  On the back of your water bill will be a place to add your phone number and email.  Thank you. 

*If you don’t use Facebook, please find a neighbor or relative that does to ensure you are aware of last minute changes of city business, like the food deliveries or water leaks/boil advisories, etc.   This is the best way we have to get information out quickly to a large group of people.

*A reminder if you park on the street:  When the snow needs plowed, please try to move your vehicles so the streets can be completely cleared.
