**Important information on Utility Bills**
Utility bills for April (March usage) have been mailed out. Due to the staggered shifts of town staff you may see a past due amount on your bill. There was a delay between payments and billing this month and most likely your payment was received after the bills were posted. The town did not charge any penalties or late fees in anticipation of this situation. You can contact town hall to confirm your payment was received at 912-354-5533. If you do not get someone on the phone when you call please leave a message and we will return your call. Thank you and stay safe!
