Gas Service Update 7:00 PM
1/16/2025
Atmos Energy is hoping to have the line repaired within the hour. After the line is replaced they will need to purge the system which will take a couple of hours. Crews will have to turn off each individual meter. After the system is purged, they will have to go house to house and will need to make contact with someone at the home (someone over 18) in order to turn the meter back on. And they will relight pilots as necessary. They may not be able to get to every home this evening but will continue restoring service tomorrow. If you are available to have your service restored tonight, please turn on your porch light so the crews will know someone is available. If they are unable to contact anyone at a home tonight or tomorrow, they will leave a door hanger with contact info so that you can make an appointment for them to come restore your service. If due to health issues you are in dire need of service or know of someone, please call or text me at (785) 398-1260 as I will try to make a priority list of people. Thank you for your cooperation. Again, please share this information with friends, family or neighbors that may not have access to this site or the city FB page.

Water and Sewer Rate Increase
12/31/2024
Water and Sewer Rares will be increasing beginning Jan. 1, 2025. The service charge for water will remain at $15.00 per month. The rate per 1,000 gallons will go from $4.40 to $4.50. The sewer rate for 0-3000 gallons will remain at $16.00. The rate per 1000 gallons over the minimum usage will go from $4.40 to $4.50. I will be recalculating everyones sewer rate which is calculated once a year using a 3 month average water usage during the winter months. This way you are not paying a higher sewer rate in the summer when you are watering lawns and gardens. To show the impact of the increase on you, say you use 4200 gallons and your sewer rate is calculated at the $16.00 rate: Currently your bill wiould be $65.11 (including trash fee of $15.50). In January, your bill would be $65.53, an increase of $0.42. If you have any questions, please feel free to give me a call at (785) 398-1260
