Temporary Service
Temporary service can be established by the property owner, a property’s management company, or those authorized by the owner. Temporary service may be established for a period of time not to exceed 7 days for the purpose of cleaning, constructing, inspecting, appraising, or renovating a property while vacant. In lieu of a deposit, a non-refundable fee must be paid prior to service. The non-refundable fee for temporary service will include 1,000 gallons of water and sewer usage and one collection day for solid waste (solid waste applies to residential dwelling within city limits only).

In order to start temporary service, a Temporary Service (PDF) application must be completed and a valid photo ID of applicant must be provided to City Hall. This can be done in person, by mail, or email.
