BULK RATES
As of July 1, 2007 new fees were adopted by Council. Bulk rates were increased. The fee for pick-up is now $160.00 and the drop off fee is $80.00 for a regular size truck load. This fee must be pre-paid at the City Hall office at 106 Dorman Street. Public Works will then be notified of the bulk pick-up or drop-off. An employee must be present at the public works building on Franklin Street in order to allow the drop-off.
2010 Fire Hydrant Flushing Schedule
City hydrants will be flushed monthly on the second Tuesday and Wednesday of the month between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. when the weather is suitable and is above freezing. The dead end lines will be flushed bi-weekly on the second and fourth Tuesday of the month.
During this process, residents may experience low water pressure at times, but it will be restored as soon as the flushing is completed. Hydrants will be flushed a minimum of ten minutes or until water runs clear. When the hydrant has run over ten minutes to accomplish clear water, the hydrant will be ran an additional five minutes as long as it is clear.
