Suspension of Utility Services

To qualify for suspension of services, residents must be vacant from the property for a minimum of 30 days. Payment must be made to suspend services. Notify the City Offices of return at least 10 days in advance. Please read the agreement in its entirety. 

 

Application Fees: 

  • $25.00 Garbage & Recycling
  • $75.00 Water Shut-Off


Water and sewer services can be suspended in one of two ways:

  1. Water service can be turned off at the curb. A one-time, $75 fee will be billed to the account, which will cover disconnection and reconnection of service upon your return. 
  2. Water can remain on at the residence.  The minimum monthly water and sewer charges will continue to be billed as long as no water is consumed.  If any water passes through the meter, regular billing will automatically resume.
