City utilities include Water, Wastewater, Electrical, Garbage, and Recycling.
Utility bills are bundled and include all five services whether the customer uses them or not.
The City of Flatonia has
made significant improvements in the reliability and affordability of its electric, water, and wastewater
infrastructure over the past few years, giving the City capacity to
grow.
To connect water, sewer
and electrical systems of your structure you must make a deposit for
utilities and pay a tap fee (if new installation). You
or your plumber/electrician need to check with the Utility Department
to see where the lines need to be run to connect to existing services. Temporary or construction meters must be requested two weeks prior to project start date to schedule installation. All fees and deposits MUST be paid prior to any connection. Refer to fee schedule below for current deposits and tapping fees.
The release of temporary
utilities for construction purposes will be allowed with a utility
deposit; however, this does not authorize occupancy of the building. Temporary
utilities and equipment/appliance checks are not a connect for
permanent service and may be disconnected at any time for non-compliance
or inspections which do not pass code requirements.
