Diggers Hotline

State law requires anyone doing excavation work in Wisconsin to give at least three working days notice to Diggers Hotline prior to digging. Diggers Hotline is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Toll Free (800) 242-8511.

To Start Service at Connected Site


To establish sewer & water service at a site that is already connected to the sanitary sewer system, contact Judy Lee, Deputy City Clerk, at (608) 326-6406 or jlee@mhtc.net.

To End Service at Connected Site


An owner or tenant of property supplied with sewer & water may discontinue this service by calling the City and asking for service to be discontinued. The minimum charge will continue to be billed as long as the sewer & water remains connected, whether or not any water is consumed.

Establishing a New Connection Where None Exists


The City requires a Utility Permit and a $500 permit fee prior to installation of new connections to the sanitary sewer system. Any repairs to sanitary sewer lateral also require a permit, a $25 permit fee, and an inspection. In addition, disconnecting sanitary sewer service, such as when a building is razed, requires a permit, a $25 permit fee, and an inspection. Permits can be obtained by contacting Julie Jackson, Municipal Technician, at City Hall at (608) 326-8024 or pdcjack@mhtc.net.
Effective January 1, 2007, all new sanitary sewer laterals require the installation of a trace wire (see the link below for specifications).
