  • We constructed a sanitary sewer many years ago for the residents on Perry and Gale. Water and Waste bills us quarterly for sanitary treatment and we pass those costs on annually in the winter taxes - per the “Drain Code” the Statute that our Office works under. We send the notice so the residents may know why this is on their tax bill each year and how much.
