SEWER RATES (Within City Limits)
Sewer charges are calculated annually by averaging the
amount of water used in January, February and March (Winter Quarter
Average/WQA). The new sewer rate will be reflected on the October bill. If
there is unusual water usage during the three-month calculation period, such as
a winter lawn, filling a pool, etc, you can appeal your winter quarter average.
The appeal process is open from receipt of
the May bill through the last business day of August.
Please note: Sewer rate
appeals do not last the length of the account. Due to constant changes in
landscaping, pool additions, etc., appeal forms must be filled out annually.

Trash Rates, Effective July 1, 2008
Collection charges are $22.80 per month.
Contained Trash/Recycling
- Residents are to request containers for both garbage and recycling. There are
two sizes to choose from: 95-gallon and 65-gallon. The garbage/recycling
containers must be out by 6:00 a.m. on the assigned collection day. If there is
an alley behind your house, garbage containers will be picked up in the alleys
rather than curbside. Otherwise, your recycling containers will be picked up at
the curb in front of your house.
Bulk Trash - This includes
items such as old appliances, discarded furniture and tree/shrub pruning.
Please keep trimmings within 4 feet in length and stacked in neat piles. Please
bag/box all vegetation. No hazardous items such as pool chemicals, paint, oils,
or batteries are allowed.
Delinquent Charges
A 1.5% penalty is assessed on all payments not received in
the Finance Office by the due date of the bill. Any past due balance brought
forward is payable immediately and subject to service termination. Notification
of disconnect will be sent and an $18.00 disconnect fee incurred. If payment is
not received by the date set forth in the disconnect letter, service will be
disconnected. In order to restore service, THE BILL
MUST BE PAID IN FULL along with a $50.00 administration fee (Cash or Credit
Card ONLY) for next business day activation or $100.00 for same day activation.
