City Utilities
The City of Horace provides Water and Sewer treatment services to residents. Some areas of Horace get water service from Cass Rural Water. Residents are billed separately from Cass Rural Water for their service and you will receive a quarterly bill from the City of Horace for trash pick-up service. Utility rates are adjusted periodically as costs of service change and are reviewed at least annually.
If your residence receives water from the City of Horace, your city utility bill will include the monthly cost of service for Water, Sewer, and Trash/Recycling pick-up. Please read your water meter and note the current gallon reading on the monthly bill before returning with your payment. Call City Hall for any billing address changes by the 15th of each month. If you do not read and update your water meter, you will be charged for the maximum water usage.
Utility Bill Drop Off Locations
