Utility Department
Utility Bills and Meter Readings: Most homes have radio meters installed which can be read by driving by the house. The meters are read monthly and water usage is billed one month behind. The monthly utility bill includes water, sewer, and trash service. Bills are mailed on the 5th of each month and are due on the 20th.
