A deposit is required when you sign up for utility service and it is credited back to your account after two years (unless you rent and then it will be returned to you after you move), if the account is paid on time each month.      Culinary Water is provided through Weber Basin Conservancy District and three city reservoirs. Your monthly bill includes a base charge for up to 10,000 gallons of water each month. Additional usage is billed at the overage rate per 1,000 gallons. During winter months, the minimum amount is charged and any overage use is billed when the water meter is read in the Spring. The city has a very good water system and has been awarded for excellence by the Rural Water Association.      A secondary water system has been installed throughout the city. All residences must be connected to the system. The water is available between April 15 and October 15 each year. There is a one-time connection fee which is payable when the connection is made to your property (paid by developer in new subdivisions) and a user fee which is charged each month, year round. The user fee is included on your monthly city utility billing. All connections to the secondary system must be inspected by city personnel. Water is supplied by the Davis & Weber Canal Company (774-6373).      Sewer is collected through a system owned by the city. The city system flows to the North Davis Sewer District's transmission lines, then on to their sewer treatment plants in Syracuse.      Garbage Service is provided by a private collection company. The city provides one 100-gallon container for each residence. A second container may be requested for an additional fee. The containers belong to the city and should not be abused, painted, or destroyed. Hot or caustic materials cannot be placed in the containers. Grass clippings should be bagged and placed on other refuse. The container should be placed in the street, next to the curb the night before garbage is picked up.
