Moving?

Please contact the Town Office to inform us of the last day you will be in your home so we may do a Final Read. We will need a new mailing address so we can ensure your final billing gets to you promptly.  If you are signed up for PAD you will need to cancel your automatic debit from your bank account Cancellation Notice.
