You may apply for service by mail or by coming to City Hall located at 438 Main. You need to complete and sign a Residence Service Utility Application Form agreeing to pay for water, sewer and trash service at the service location requested. The Residence Application Information sheet provides additional details regarding our city services. Positive identification is required when applying for service. If you apply for service at City Hall please bring your Social Security Card and one form of picture ID. If you are applying by mail complete the Positive Identification form and return with your Residence Service Utility Application.
A $75 meter deposit must be paid before the water meter is turned on. The meter deposit may be mailed with the Residence Service Utility Application and Positive ID form if handling the application by mail. We reserve the right to increase the deposit at time of application due to past payment history before service is established.
On your first bill there will be an Activation Charge of $25 billed to your account for turning water on and establishing the account..
Auto Pay for Water Bills: The City of Rossville now has the ability for you to establish automatic payment of your monthly water bill. Once the Auto Pay Application Form is approved and established, your bank account is automatically debited each month for payment on the date the bill is due.
