2. Does the City offer discounts for senior citizens?
Yes. According to Ordinance 83-39: Any person who occupies a dwelling as his/her home or principal residence and is age 65 years old or older is entitled to a water, sewer, and garbage credit. No more than one fee credit in each category shall be allowed on the same property during any year. Come by our office to apply. This is renewed annually in June.
3. Who has to sign up for water utilities?
Any owner of a home with City water, sewer, and/or garbage has to sign an application form. This needs to be as soon as the home is purchased. If the home is a rental, the owner has to come and sign allowing the renters to receive the billing or not. The owner is responsible for the timely payment of all utility charges, fees and billings assessed against the service unit notwithstanding any other agreement between the owner and occupants (Section 23-6)
4. What needs to be done if I am selling my home?
If the owner has a buyer and closing is through a title company, the title company will contact the City for an up to date meter reading. They will collect the amount due at closing. If the closing falls through, the owner needs to continue paying on the account even though it is still on the market to sell. If the closing goes through the title company will make a check to the City to pay the account. The new owner needs to come in and sign for service in their name. If you are selling your home and not going through a title company, you are responsible for making sure all payments due are paid in full.
