Water Department

IMPORTANT:

Do not pave over your curb stop!

It has come to the attention of the Water Department that some residents are paving over their curb stop. Of course, this is discovered when there is an emergency and the water must be turned off by the curb stop. In this case, you will be responsible for uncovering the curb stop so that we may turn it off.

In the future, to avoid this problem, call the water department before having work done near your curb stop. The water department will provide a cap for the pavers to properly install.

That being said, do you know where your curb stop is? Generally the water line runs straight between your water meter and the curb stop. Some curb stops are buried and some are visible. If you cannot see it, knowing the general area is important information.
