When You Move In
Don’t assume the City knows you are settled in a new residence--please let us know you are here! If you fail to notify us, you may have the unpleasant and unnecessary experience of finding your power is off when you haven’t even received a bill yet, which could result from an unpaid bill left by a previous tenant. To spare yourself that unpleasant experience, please stop by City Hall to set up your own account. We are happy to help get your utility services started.
When You Move Out
Be sure to let City Hall know when you are leaving your current residence so that we can properly terminate your account at that address. Otherwise, you could be charged for someone else’s utility expense after you have moved. A quick stop in or call lets us know when you are moving, and we will do the rest. Be sure to provide a forwarding address to receive the final billing and/or any deposit refund owed to you. It is our goal to make your transition as smooth as possible.
