UTILITY IMPROVEMENT

Embracing Mayes County Communities

UTILITY INFRASTRUCTURE

Unplanned expenditures lead to unfortunate budget discussions where priorities are triaged because there is not enough money for everything. Continued unmet operating and maintenance costs for existing infrastructure deferred to future years may also lead to larger, more expensive capital costs when facilities fail and lead to emergency repairs or replacement. The cost to complete these improvements could place additional long-term burdens on future budgets for decades to come that could be managed with regular spending on maintenance of existing infrastructure.

UTILITY INFRASTRUCTURE

Currently, each of the communities provides some level of service across these community infrastructure categories to residents within their town or city limits, and limited services to those in outside of town or city limits, with rural areas covered by Mayes County services.
