Information
The monthly residential utility bill from the City includes water, sewer, storm sewer and garbage.  A water deposit of $100.00 must be paid and an application for water service must be filled out before the service will be turned on.  Bills are mailed on the last working day of each month and are due by the 20th of the next month. There is an after-hours drop slot located in the entry of City Hall.  If you do not receive a bill please contact city hall.  If the bill is not paid by the 20th, a ten-percent delinquent charge is added to the bill.  Bills unpaid by the 20th of the month will be considered delinquent and result in a disconnect notice with shut-off six days later.  A $30.00 shut-off fee will be charged if an employee is sent out to shut off the service, even if payment is made at that time.  Another $30.00 turn-on fee will be required to restore the service, as well as the past amount due.  All utilities in your name are your responsibility until the City is notified that you are moving and a final bill is generated.

Garbage Hauling
The City contracts with Dan & Roxie Morrow of M&S Daisy Hauling (712) 210-6227 to collect residential garbage and recycling.  Please contact them directly to find out your day and time of pickup.  Billing is done through the City and is on your monthly water bill.  Commercial usage is billed through M&S Daisy Hauling.

Yard Waste
Yard waste such as leaves and tree limbs may be burned during the authorized open burning period after a burn permit is obtained from City Hall.  A Burn Permit is $15.00 a year. It is good for recreational and yard waste fires.  Starting on October 18, 2024 the City also offers a yard waste disposal site at 3727 Harrah Circle. From 175 West turn south onto Harris Ave for 1 mile and then turn west on Harrah Cir. The Yard Waste Site is approximately 1.5 miles on Harrah Cir. The site is open 7 days a week, sunrise to sunset, starting in April and ending in November.
