All dog and cat owners that reside in Huxley must license their pets with the city each year. A current rabies vaccination is needed to register any dog or cat over four months old. The deadline to license pets for this year was January 31, 2012.  Anyone licensing their pets after the deadline must pay a $20 fee.  Failure to license your pet can result in a $93.75 citation.
 
The City’s office hours are 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday. If you can not stop by during these times, you can use the city’s drop box, located in the north parking lot of 3C's building to drop off your registration.  Please complete a registration form, submit a copy of a current rabies vaccination from your veterinarian and enclose $20.00 for each pet.   Upon receipt, new license tags will be mailed out to the pet owner.

Call the Parks and Recreation Department and find out how you can attend any of the existing exercise classes offered at 3C's for FREE. Dial 597-2515 for details. 

Residents in Huxley will remember the temporary sewer charge that was once part of the monthly water bills. The funds collected were used to provide a down payment for the new wastewater treatment plant that the growing community needed and decrease the amount of funds needed to finance the completed project later on.  The payments for the bonds used to finance the plant are now coming due.  Therefore, there are rate increases that will become effective January 1 and February 1 this year.  The rate increases are as follows:

Water - Effective January 1 Water - Effective February 1
Basic Monthly User Fee: $12.75 Basic Monthly User Fee:  $15.15
Cost per 1,000 Gallons Used:  $4.25 Cost per 1,000 Gallons Used: $4.35 

 

Sewer - Effective January 1 Sewer - Effective February 1
Basic Monthly User Fee:  $18.00 Basic Monthly User Fee:  $23.00
Cost per 1,000 Gallons Used:  $4.45 Cost per 1,000 Gallons Used:  $4.35

Should you have any questions regarding the rate increases, please call City Hall at 597-2561.
