Morrison City Offices Adopt Summer Hours

Effective on Monday, July 12th Morrison City Hall will be open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. for the remainder of the summer season. The new hours will be in effect beginning on Monday, July 12 through the Labor Day weekend.

A customer count was conducted in the summer of 2009 and again in March/April of this year. During the time between 4:00 and 4:30 there were only one or two customers at the counter per week.

Customers will still have access to the other means of bill paying. After hours, water bills can be placed in the drop box located between the south doors of the building. Other options include mailing and auto-pay through your bank. Contact us at to make arrangements for automatic payment. Of course, you may still drop off the bill when the office is open.
