Utility Discount Programs

Customers who participate in assistance programs such as Heap, Medicaid, food stamps & public housing may be eligible for a discount on their water/sewer bills.

Seniors age 60 and older with limited income may also qualify for a discount on electricity & water bills.

Employees Wear Photo ID Badges

If someone identifies themselves as a city employee and asks to enter your home or provide a water sample, please ask to see their employee identification. Our employees wear a photo ID badge, a city-issued uniform or shirt and would also be driving a city vehicle.
