Water Utility Connection/Disconnection

Water Connection

  • To open a water account, you come to City Hall office at 128 Main Street and request service. You bring a valid driver’s license along with your social security card. If the request is at a new site and there is not a meter on that site a tap fee of $500.00 is required before service can be started. A water deposit of $200.00 plus a non-refundable $50.00 administrative fee totaling $250.00 will be assessed and must be paid in full before your service will be turned on. If a water tap needs to be installed, the total fee for service will be $750.00. Same day turn on is available for applicants if request is before 2 pm. The necessary forms for connection can be acquired at Bogata City Hall during regular business hours, Monday-Thursday, 7:30 am until 5:30 pm. and Friday 8:00 am - 12:00 noon. Office closes at 12:00 noon.
  • No person with a previous delinquent balance can open an account without first paying the delinquent amount. The City will not open an account in any name if we have reason to believe that a person who has an unpaid balance will be living at that address.
