What are all these colored flags in my yard? Those flags mark underground utilities for contractors under the MISS DIG system.  Many utilities are buried underground such as water, sewer, electric, cable, natural gas, and cable TV.  These markings allow us to work safely.  Please do not remove these flags until construction activities are completed.  As a homeowner, you too can access this service and dig safely on your property.  Click this link for additional information: www.missdig.org

Why do I have to pay a penalty on my water bill even if I didn’t receive the bill? Unfortunately we cannot control the mail. It is the responsibility of each resident to inform us if they do not receive a bill. All water bills are due by the 25th of the month unless the 25th falls on a weekend or holiday. The next business date will be the due date (no exceptions).
