GO PAPERLESS WITH E-BILLING! We really appreciate all of those who have signed up for e-billing. We would like to encourage our citizens to sign up. If you are interested, go to www.paymentservicenetwork.com and register as a first time user. You may opt out of paper bills there. If you go paperless, you will be sent an email each month telling you that your bill is ready to view.
METER READINGS: The city will start reading meters again at the end of March. Your bill due in April will reflect the actual usage over the winter months.
OVERNIGHT PARKING: Beginning March 1st, our snow ordinance will no longer be in effect. We have appreciated those cooperating in not parking on the streets this winter.

DOG LICENSES: If you did not obtain or renew your dog license in 2021, please come in and purchase a lifetime tag. Licenses are required. Licenses are $15.00 per pet for their lifetime. If you have a photo of your pet to put on file this would also be helpful.

**SEWER AND WATER EMERGENCIES** We would like to remind all residents that in case of an emergency such as a water leak or sewer issue that happens after hours or on weekend, you can call city hall and there is an emergency option that will transfer you to our public works director. The sooner you call the better to avoid more complications.
