Utility Billing

All occupied city buildings must have water, sewer, and trash-collection service. The Utility Billing office provides customer service to the city’s water, sewer and sanitation customers, including starting and stopping service, ordering roll-off dumpsters, and responding to inquiries about billing.

Trash-Collection

Per city code, the City of Elkins is the only allowed provider of trash-collection service inside city limits. The City of Elkins cannot offer trash-collection service outside city limits. The Utility Billing Department does not handle special bulk trash collection. Learn more about sanitation services.

Water

Water service is billed based on metered usage. The City of Elkins uses meters that transmit usage information electronically. Usage information is usually collected around the middle of each month.

Sewer

Sewer service is billed based on metered water consumption. The city will adjust your sewer bill based on water usage to fill a pool. Please contact one of the below staff members for information on applying for such an adjustment.
