Survey

Someone from the town office will be contacting you in the upcoming weeks via telephone. 

We are trying to set up a database for the town.  This person will be asking you general 

questions about your household.  This data bank will be set up for the town office purpose 

only.  No information will be shared from this survey to any other organization. 

This information will be used to help us with applying of funding for improvements within our

 please call 243-2564.   The town clerk will be more than happy to help you.

Cat Rescue Ticket Draw

The cat rescue fund tickets were a great success.  In total there was $200.00 raised

 to help offset the cost of bringing the cats to Corner Brook.  The lucky winner of 

$200.00 was Ben Kennedy.  On behalf of the individuals taking care of the rescue 

efforts we would like to thank you for your support.     

Deadline For Outstanding Accounts

The deadline for payment for outstanding accounts is only one month away.  On 

May 2^nd, 2014, the maintenance man will be going to the households of this account

 to shut off water.  Once your water is shut off the complete balance must be paid to 

the town manager plus a $100.00 hookup fee.

For those of you who do not have water connections.  Your accounts will be submitted

 to the Credit Bureau for collections with an additional 5% to offset the cost of this 

service. The other option will be contacting your employer to garnish your wages. 

We would like to sincerely thank those of you that are paying your accounts regularly. 

  It doesn't seem fair for a small portion of our community to use the services without paying

 their share of the expenses.
