SEWER RE-AVERAGING PERIOD HAS BEGUN
Residential water consumption between mid-November and mid-February is averaged and becomes your new sewer consumption for a whole year beginning with the April 2024 bill.  THE BOTTOM LINE:  The more water you use during these winter months, the higher your sewer charge will be for a whole year.  Fix leaky toilets, faucets, and other plumbing issues as they occur.  Exceptions will be made for verified underground leaks. 

PLASTIC BAG COLLECTION CHALLENGE
The Bethel College Mennonite Church is participating in a one year collection challenge (October 2023 through September 2024) to gather 1000 lbs. of plastic film and bags.  City Hall lobby, Kidron Bethel and the Bethel College Mennonite Church have collection receptacles.  Thus far there has been an overwhelming response by the public to bring in their recyclable plastic bags!

Make sure the bags/wraps/film are clean and dry and remove all paper labels please.
