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 a Connected Site:


To establish sewer & water service at a site that is already connected to the water system, contact Judy Lee, Deputy City Clerk, at (608) 326-6407 or jlee@mhtc.net .

To End Service at a 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 $725 connection fee prior to the installation of new connections of 1” or less to the water system. A water service connection larger than 1” will be billed at actual cost of the work being done. To obtain a Utility Permit or information regarding a new connection, contact Julie Jackson, Municipal Technician, at City Hall at (608) 326-8024 or pdcjack@mhtc.net.

Please see the Water Department's policy on requests for service work and rates.
