One Nation, Under God

Attention: Town of Dodson Water Users

Dear Dodson residents,

As most of you are aware, we recently experienced our fifth water break since late September of 2017. This has come at an incredible expense to our town budget; of approximately $20,000.

We currently have several people in serious arrears with their water accounts and we MUST get these current +, in order to afford any more problems. As with other utilities that you rely on, you must pay your bill. We certainly understand that it is a hardship, but going without water at all will be much harder. Please get your water bills paid up to avoid being shut off, especially in this cold weather. We know our water system is old and will to be replaced down the line, but we are still working with our sewer and now must erect a new water pump house, as that building is literally falling apart. The cost of all this is great and yet is needed if we are to be in compliance with State regulations. We also want to be able to pay those people who braved subzero temperatures to come and fix our breaks.

In addition, I want to apologize to anyone who did not get notified that the water would be shut off. It is very difficult to remember everyone and again I am sorry if you were missed.

In the past, we have asked that everyone who has a cell phone to please supply us with that number so we can call you if the water is going to be off and you are not home. Just include it when you pay your bill next time. Thank you all for your patience as we work hard to keep our town up to date.
