Water Treatment & Waste Water

The Public Utilities Department operates and maintains the City’s water and sewer systems to provide safe, reliable service for residents and businesses.

What We Do
  • Operate and maintain water production, distribution, and sewer collection systems
  • Read meters and issue monthly bills
  • Handle new service requests, transfers, and shut-offs
  • Inspect and repair City-owned lines and connections to ensure service quality

Billing Basics
  • All service is metered and billed monthly
  • Late fee: 10% after 15 days past the bill date
  • Disconnection: At 30 days past due; reconnection requires full payment plus applicable cut-off/on fees
  • Current water & sewer rates are set by Mayor & Council (see posted rate schedule)

Connections & Use
  • A City permit is required before connecting to or altering any public water/sewer line
  • Properties abutting a public sewer main must connect where service is available
  • Do not discharge stormwater, grease, oil, chemicals, or other prohibited materials into the sanitary sewer
  • Tampering with meters or unauthorized reconnection is unlawful

Conservation Tips

There are a number of easy ways to save water, and they all start with YOU. When you save water, you save money on your utility bills.
In the Kitchen​
  • Wash smart: Don’t let water run while washing dishes. Use one sink for soapy water and another for rinsing.
  • Upgrade appliances: Some refrigerators, ice-makers, and A/C units waste water. Choose air-cooled models to save.
  • Run full loads: Only run the dishwasher when full to save water, energy, and detergent.
  • Compost instead of disposal: Use garbage disposals sparingly—compost food scraps to save gallons each time.
  • Cold drinks: Keep a pitcher of water in the fridge instead of running the tap.
  • Rinse wisely: Use a bowl of water to wash vegetables, then reuse it to water plants.
  • Cook efficiently: Use minimal water in pots, keep lids on, and retain nutrients by not draining excess water.
  • Reduce glassware: Reuse one water glass or bottle throughout the day.
  • Defrost safely: Thaw food in the refrigerator, not under running water.
  • Skip rinsing: New dishwashers clean thoroughly—extra rinsing wastes water.
  • Repurpose ice: Drop leftover or spilled ice cubes in a plant pot instead of the trash.
  • Be mindful: Avoid waste by making only what you’ll drink (like coffee) and using all your ice.
In the Bathroom
  • Shorter showers: Cutting just 1–2 minutes saves up to 150 gallons a month.
  • Turn off the tap: Save 25 gallons a month by shutting water off while brushing teeth.
  • Shower, don’t bathe: Showers with low-flow heads use less water than baths.
  • Hair washing: Turn off water while shampooing—up to 150 gallons saved monthly.
  • Smaller baths: Reduce tub depth by 1–2 inches if showers aren’t available.
  • Upgrade toilets: New models use only 1.6 gallons per flush.
  • Check for leaks: Test toilets with food coloring in the tank—leaks waste water silently.
  • Displacement devices: Use a tank dam, bag, or filled bottle to reduce flush volume (not for new low-flow toilets).
  • No trash flushing: Don’t use toilets for tissues, butts, or other waste.
  • Wash with cold: Cold water with soap is usually enough for hands.
  • Hands & shaving: Turn off taps while lathering or fill the sink instead of running water.
  • Install aerators: Faucet aerators cut flow without reducing performance.
In the Laundry
  • Full loads only: Running washers only when full saves up to 1,000 gallons per month.
  • Cold washes: Wash darks in cold water to save water, energy, and color.
  • Right-sized loads: Match the water level to the load size.
Plumbing & Appliances
  • Choose wisely: Compare water use when buying new appliances.
  • Fix leaks quickly: A slow drip can waste 170 gallons a day.
  • DIY repairs: Learn simple faucet fixes to save money and water.
  • Check hidden leaks: Turn everything off and monitor the meter—movement means a leak.
  • Insulate pipes: Reduces wasted water while waiting for hot water.
  • Adjust thermostat: Avoid overly hot water heater settings.
  • Smart watering: Use a moisture meter for houseplants—more die from overwatering than thirst.
  • Winterize: Protect outdoor faucets and pipes before freezing weather.
Outdoor Use
  • Water only when needed: Check soil moisture before watering.
  • Don’t over-water: Grass only needs about 1.5 inches of water weekly in summer.
  • Best timing: Water lawns early in the morning to reduce evaporation.
  • Use the right sprinkler: Larger droplets and low angles prevent water loss.
  • Set systems wisely: Install timers and rain shut-offs for sprinklers.
  • Drip systems: Use drip irrigation or soaker hoses for shrubs and beds.
  • Avoid wind watering: Water slowly and never on windy days.
  • Mulch & compost: Improve soil so it absorbs water instead of running off.
  • Smart fertilizing: Twice a year is enough—strong roots use water better.
  • Mow higher: Taller grass holds moisture; trim lightly and often.
  • Spot-water hot areas: Use a watering can or hose only where needed.
  • Choose water-wise plants: Select drought-tolerant, native plants.
  • Decorate dry: Use gravel, rocks, or wood chips instead of water-hungry plants.
  • Sweep, don’t spray: Clean sidewalks and driveways with a broom, not a hose.
  • Wash cars efficiently: Use a bucket of soapy water, rinsing only when needed.
  • Check outdoor leaks: Inspect hoses, sprinklers, and faucets regularly.
