Announcements and News

WINTER STORM UPDATE

Following last week’s severe weather storm, the City of Wallis would like to announce programs that will be put in place immediately for this month only to help city water and sewer utility customers:

* All late fees have been waived for February billings

* Minimum usage for all accounts has been adjusted from 3,000 gallons to 25,000         gallons. This means all customer readings up to 25,000 gallons will only be charged the minimum charge.

Now that Austin County has been declared at the Federal level, home and business owners can begin filing for assistance.  Go to www.fema.gov/disaster/4586 to begin the process.  The application says it will take about 20 minutes.  One of the first notes is this: "We cannot provide money to people or households for losses already covered by insurance.  If you have not already contacted your insurance company to file a claim, please do this as soon as possible.  Failure to file a claim with your insurance may affect you getting grant assistance."  This is not a city program nor a city application so other than direct you to the website, we are unable to assist with the status of your application.

HOLIDAY SCHEDULE FOR TRASH SERVICE 

Texas Pride Disposal observes four holidays: New Year's Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.  In the event that your service day falls on a one of the holidays listed, collection will roll to the next regularly scheduled collection day.  

CHANGE IN DROP BOX PAYMENTS

We will no longer accept cash payments in the drop box at city hall affective 7-17-2020.  Please make payments in the form of a check or money order. City will not be responsible for cash left in the drop box. Payments are due by the 15th of each month by 4:00pm.  Payments received in the drop box after 4:00pm on the 15th will be considered late.  If the 15th falls on a weekend or city holiday, bill will be considered timely if payment is in our drop box by 8:00am or paid through online billing by 8:00am on the first working day after the 15th.
