City Utilities
The City Utilities Office is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
The City provides electric, water, sewer and trash service.
The utility bills are mailed out on the last business day of each month.
The bill is due on the 15th of each month. If the 15th falls on a day the utilities office is closed,
it is due on the next business day. If the bill is not paid by the 15th, there is a 10% penalty
applied to the bill. If the bill is not paid by the 5th of the next month, utility services are
disconnected for non- payment. In order to get the utilities turned back on, the past due bill plus
reconnect fees must be paid. Payment may be made by check, cash, money order or credit card.
