A REMINDER OF |
| Running at large is prohibited. No dog shall be permitted to run at large within the limits of the City.

Dog Nuisances (a portion of Sec10.104) the owner or custodian of any dog shall prevent the dog from committing in the city any act, which constitutes a nuisance.

Owners, please respect your neighbor and do not allow your animals to continually bark. Any person in violation of this City Ordinance is guilty of a petty misdemeanor. |

WATER BILLS |
| The City office keeps a very limited amount of cash on hand so when paying water bills, please try to have moneys close to the amount of the bill. |
|
House Numbers |
| Make sure that the front of your house has house numbers that are legible for the fire or ambulance department to read. House numbers should be at least four inches in height and in a contrasting color. When you have made a call to the ambulance, please turn on the light on the front of the house and have someone outside to flag them down if possible. |

We would be more than happy to accommodate your request. |

Water leaks are very costly |
| The city maintenance department encourages all utility customers to monitor their own water consumption by reading their water meter on a regular basis. The City does notify customers if their consumption appears to be higher than normal but because we receive this information on a quarterly basis a leak can go undetected long enough to raise the utility bill considerably. |
