Notice to Town of Dundee Utility Customers
Beginning approximately April 1st, 2006, we will be offering utility
customers the option to pay their utility bills by automatic debit at no
extra cost.
If you are interested in signing up for automatic debit payments you will
need to come in to Dundee Town Hall and complete an authorization agreement
form or you can complete the form online at
www.townofdundee.com.
*Please note - If funds aren’t available for the bank draft at the time of transfer, which will be approximately the first of each month, then the transaction will be treated as an NSF transaction and an NSF fee will be added to the account. Late fees still apply if the balance is not paid by the due date.

Utilities
The Public Works Department provides several essential services to the
residents and businesses of Dundee. It is also involved in several projects
to enhance the quality of life in town. The Town has a public water supply
system with improvements made over the years to provide for the development
which has occurred, especially along US Highway 27. One
project of the department is to take stock of existing facilities and public
demands and plan appropriate improvements. The daily consumption of water now averages about 450,000 gallons
per day.
Council recently approved expanding the existing wastewater treatment plant. The Public Works Department is highly involved in expanding the coverage of the Town with a collection system which can provide wastewater disposal for most of the commercial and public facility property in the Town. With funding assistance from the United States Department of Agriculture, a collection system construction project was completed during 2002 which provided two pump stations and several thousand feet of force main to remove sewage from the SW area of Dundee, including the area near the intersection of Main and Center Streets. From these facilities, gravity sewer extensions and connections will result in diversion of wastewater to the Town's plant that has for many years been pumped out of Town by the Utility Department of Polk County. Many other commercial properties are expected to be able to connect to the same sanitary sewer facility.
The Public Works Department provides many services to the Town's residents in addition to water and sewer service. The usual street and storm-water facility maintenance is provided. The extensive public land held by the Town as a result of all the lakes and the area immediately around the lakes, being designated as public lands in the original platting of the Town, is regularly mowed and provided with landscape maintenance to enhance its use as park land. The solid waste generated within the Town is outsourced to Florida Refuse.
