Reminder from the Utility Billing Department:

Your June utility statement will include a federally-mandated Municipal Well Test Fee of $6.36.   This fee is collected by this municipality and submitted to the State Department of Health, who then decides which public wells to test throughout the State.

The City is currently seeking residents to serve on the Planning Commission, the Parks Commission, and the Heritage Preservation Commission.  For more details, check out:  Commission Applications

Street sweeping is one of the most cost-effective ways used to remove sediment, metals, petroleum products, trash, and vegetation that accumulates on streets, construction sites and parking lots.  If these toxins are not removed, they will make their way into the storm drains and into our streams and waterways.  Keeping the storm drains clear not only helps to mitigate water pollution, but also reduces the likelihood of flooding during heavy rain.
