NOTICE: The city is not responsible for mail delivery. Failure to receive the billing does 
NOT relinquish responsibility for payment or penalty. Payment for utilities is always 
due on or before the LAST day of the month. Any utilities not paid by the 8th of the 
month will result in disconnection of services. A reconnection fee will be charged, and 
that payment is the customer's responsibility. 
Mowing Season Reminders! Please mow away from the curb to avoid blowing grass 
clippings and leaves into the street. It clogs City drains and is a road hazard to all. 
We also ask that you be mindful of the length of your grass/weeds. Per City Ordinance: 
Length should not exceed 7" in height. 
Reminder - Yard Waste is picked up on the FIRST and THIRD Fridays only. The brush dump 
is accessible to all City residents and located at the end of Brasch Drive. Cameras are 
located on the premises to control abuse of availability. Although we do not require 
limbs to be placed in bags/boxes, we do ask that you bag up any and all leaves.
