Services offered & operated by the Water/Sewer Division

Water Leaks - The Water Division Crew is maintenance of all water distribution systems in the City. There are sometimes extenuating circumstances that cause this division to prioritize leaks by urgency. (Ex.: a major break of a main line that could cause city residents to be without water for an extended period of time would take precedence over a small leak in the street not affecting the public.)

Installation of New Water Service (no existing service) - Although the fees and water bills are actually paid at City Hall, residents that request new water or sewer service will need to complete an application for new service at the Public Works Office. Then one will go to new accounts and billing on the first floor of City Hall.
