New Utility Services
If you are new to the City of Maize, or changing your address in town, an application for water and sewer service is required and can be completed at Maize City Hall, 10100 Grady Avenue. Application for service requires that you come to City Hall, complete a Contract for Utility Service and provide a driver's license, social security number and a non-refundable connection fee of $50.00. If you are renting property, we will need a copy of your rental agreement also. All existing customers who are changing their address within the City, changing their name or changing their mailing address are required to complete a new Contract for Utility Service but can do so free of charge. Applications for the installation of new water meters (new construction, additional meter for a sprinkler system or upgrade of existing meter) can also be made at City Hall. For additional information on new water meters, such as location of meter or installation schedule, can also be made at City Hall. For additional information please call 722-7561 or email customerservice@maizeks.gov.
Payments:
Water/sewer bills are mailed by the 5th of every month. You can receive your bill through e-mail by providing us with an e-mail address. If you have not received a bill by the 10th, please call City Hall at 722-7561 or email customerservice@maizeks.gov.

Disconnections
Utility bills are due on the 20th of each month. After the 20th of each month delinquent notices are sent to the customer and owner and a 5% late fee is assessed. If full payment has not been received by 5:00 p.m. on the disconnect date, services will be terminated and a $50.00 non-payment fee will be assessed. To continue service, the balance must be paid in full as well as the $50.00 non-payment fee. If you have any questions contact City Hall at 722-7561 or email customerservice@maizeks.gov.
