Water, sewer, streets, parks, and cemeteries are among the DPW's many responsibilities.
The City's 2 water towers and 4 wells are capable of pumping more than 4,000 gallons a minute, and are kept running smoothly by the DPW staff. The DPW is also responsible for sewers and lift stations, streets and snow plowing, park and cemetery maintenance, and the city motor pool, including police vehicle care and maintenance.
Why is my tap water brown or rust colored?
If you live in the country or have your own private well, the answer to this age-old question is simple… your groundwater has a high iron or mineral content.
If you live in the city that has a municipal water system, the answer to why your water may be less than crystal clear at times is more complicated as there is more than one reason for discoloration. These reasons include one or more of the following…
Please remember to call MISS DIG at (800) 482-7171 before digging on your property.
Your call alerts utility companies so they can stake the location of utilities, helping you to avoid them while digging.
The utility companies can bill you for damages if they are not notified.
More than 600,000,000 gallons of water are pumped annually.
Each of our water towers holds 500,000 gallons.
The City's public parks total more than 150 acres.
The City has 36 miles of streets. That's a lot of snow plowing!
If you have questions regarding your water and sewer bill, or a service issue, please call City offices at (616) 794-1900, Ext. 217.
The City of Belding offers a pool filling discount on the sewer portion of the water bill. Please provide your name, billing address, telephone number and the two meter readings - one taken before filling the pool, and one taken after filling the pool.
Readings must be called in to 616-794-1900, Ext. 217 by May 31st to qualify for the sewer pool filling discount.
