One bill covers water, sewer and trash. Electric is always a separate account, and so is gas where it is available.

Bring your lease when you start service. The city asks renters for a higher deposit than owners, and amounts are set by the city and can change. Confirm at 417-736-2154.

The billing calendar is tight. Bills are due on the 15th with a late fee the same evening, and service can be disconnected on the 25th.

For a water main break or a sewer backup after hours, the city directs residents to call 911.

The Strafford branch belongs to the Springfield-Greene County Library District, so your card works across Springfield too.
