Responsibilities
The Utility Billing Division is responsible for all customer service, including new customers, billing questions, meter lids missing, and new service line connections.
The division also handles turning on / off water utility orders, the reading of water meters, establishing new service, billing for water, sewer and refuse, collection of payments, and arranging for a field inspection
How to Establish Service
To establish a water account, the customer is asked to come to the Utility Collections Office at 907 E. Houston and make a deposit. Identification is required on new deposits to protect the customer from someone else establishing an account in his/her name. New account holders are required to bring a signed rental/lease agreement or proof of ownership along with all the previous required documents for new service.
