To help keep our town and streets attractive

Lawn care needs to be performed weekly.

Keep grass clippings out of the street as they can block stormwater drains and cause flooding. When mowing, always blow the grass away from the street.

Trash cans should be hidden from public view as much as possible during the week; 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 consumption.

Report repairs or concerns

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