TENANTS: WE WILL BE NOTIFYING YOUR LANDLORDS OF ALL DISCONNECT NOTICES

A $250 deposit intended to guarantee payment of bills is required for establishment of services. A new or additional deposit may be subsequently required if the deposit is refunded or found insufficient and the account becomes marked by untimely payments. Deposits will be refunded to renters upon complete payment of the final bill.


SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE CITY OF POSTVILLE

Utility bills received from the City of Postville include water, sewer and garbage services.


UTILITY ACCOUNT INFORMATION

Bills should be paid as soon as possible after receipt to avoid penalty. Your bill will indicate a TOTAL amount which you should pay ON or BEFORE the 20th of each month. If not paid on or before the 20th, your bill will indicate a DELINQUENT amount which is due following that date. To assist in timely payments of utility bills, the City of Postville offers the option of automatic payment to bank customers. Please ask for further information if you are interested in this service. If you are not able to pay during regular business hours, there is also a locked drop box in the City parking lot.

In an effort to keep our town clean, the City adopted mandatory garbage collection. Please have your garbage out by 6:00 a.m. on Wednesday morning.


DISCONTINUANCE OF SERVICE FOR NON-PAYMENT

Failure to pay a bill may result in the discontinuance of utility services. A customer will be given an opportunity to appeal the reason for discontinuance. Postponement of the shut-off is also possible if discontinuance would cause a serious health hazard. All appeals and postponements shall be a decision of the City Council. In the event that services are discontinued, payment of $100 plus a 3 month average water usage will be required as well as the unpaid portion of the utility bill before services will be reinstated.
