Utility Payments: ALL residents are expected to pay their utility bills IN FULL each month by the 15th. If you do not pay the entire amount by the 15th there is a late charge that will be added of 10% of the remaining balance due. If you have an outstanding balance, you will get a late notice with the new amount due which will include the late charge. You have about one week to pay the new amount due or the City will enforce the disconnect process. When utilities are disconnected, there is a $20 fee for each utility to be reconnected and the entire amount outstanding is required to be paid in full before the utility will be reconnected, as well as the $20 fee per utility. If you are unable to pay full amount, call City Hall to make payment arrangements.
