The burning of brush is prohibited from March 16 through May 14 due to the increased risk of wildfires.

Paying Water Bills by Mail - Payments sent in the mail can only be accepted as timely by the date postmarked on the envelope. Without a postmark on the envelope, mailed payments will be accepted and processed with the date they were received. It is suggested that when making a water payment by mail near the due date, that you take it to the post office and have it manually date stamped by the post office. Metered mail DOES NOT constitute a postmark.
THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT CHANGE REGARDING MAILING OF PAYMENTS!
USPS CHANGED POSTMARK RULES
You also must be aware if paying through your banks online check payment, they are also mailed without a postmark.
It does not matter what the date on the check is, again we must go by a postmark date. (When paying online through your bank, they state the date it will arrive, so no excuse can be accepted).
Have a great day!!
