Reminders

To help keep our town and streets safe and attractive:

  • Keep leaves out of the street as they can block stormwater drains and cause flooding.
  • Keep sidewalks clear of snow.
  • Trash cans should be kept out of public view whenever possible; place them at the curb the night before collection and return them within 24 hours after collection.

Utility Bill Payments

Pay utility bills online at Municipal Online Payments or by phone at 1-866-933-4026. Setting up an account allows you to monitor your utility usage.

Report Repairs or Concerns

To report issues such as potholes or damaged signs, call City Hall during business hours to submit a work order or use the Citizen Engagement tool.
