Utilities

The City of Haven supplies electricity, water, sewer, and refuse disposal service to all residents. 

In order to open a utility account, the city requires each new customer making application for utility service to make a cash deposit in advance with the City Clerk in the amount equal to the expected average bill for a three month period or $250.00, which ever is the lower; except that for home owners the amount is equal to the expected average bill for a three month period or $150.00, which ever is the lower.

If the new utility customer can provide  a letter of good credit from the previous electric utility service, indicating no more than one late charge in the last 12 months of service, no deposit will be required.

  Should you experience a break in service, call the city office, 465-3618.  For problems after office hours, call (620) 465-3881.

Gas service is provided through KG&E, Kansas Gas Service of Newton (800-794-5126).

Telephone service is provided through Sprint (800-788-3500)

Refuse is collected on Mondays for residents on streets west of Kansas Avenue, on Sunset Lane, on Sedgwick Place, on 8th Street, and for those with alley pickup just east of Kansas Avenue.  All other residents east of Kansas Avenue have refuse service on Tuesday.  An extra polycart is available at a cost of $5.00 per month for a minimum of three months.  Extra pickups, at your request, can be arranged and charged on a "per call" basis, depending on the size of the pickup.  A burn site is available for city residents to haul tree limbs and clean lumber only.  This site is open each Wednesday from 1:00 to 8:00 p.m. and each Saturday from 10:00 to 6:00 p.m. and is located one-quarter mile east of Haven Road on First Street.
