| *Flemingsburg Natural Gas Customers* As oil prices continue to increase, the market price of natural gas does as well and has in fact more than doubled since last year. Due to the extremely high market prices Flemingsburg Utility System has opted not to buy any gas for winter storage, but rather to buy natural gas on a month to month basis as needed in hopes that the market price will eventually drop. Flemingsburg Utility System has no control over the rising cost of natural gas and will have to pass a large portion of the additional expense onto our customers. Current rates have been increased 26% and will be adjusted monthly based on the average purchase price that month. We realize such a dramatic increase will create a hardship for many of our customers and will offer payment plans within the constraints of our operating budget. We encourage our customers to start planning now by winterizing their homes, making sure heating units are operating efficiently, and considering ways to reduce unnecessary usage .

There is a 10 bag limit on residential pick-up. Anything in excess of 10 bags is considered an extra pick-up and will be assessed a small additional fee. Residential garbage customers may also request a special pickup for junk and brush for an additional fee.
Fees are determined by the Public Works Superintendent and are payable in advance.
The City does not offer a year round chipper service, but does chip brush in the spring and fall and after severe storms. Small tied bundles of brush can be collected during the weekly garbage pickup at no extra charge. The City offers two free clean-up weeks per year, usually in the fall and spring. All items except tires, paint, and combustibles are accepted. Items must be brought to the curb for pickup.
If a customer's garbage pickup falls on a holiday it will be picked up the next business day.
Dumpsters are available for rent or purchase. For more information contact the Public Works Superintendent at (606) 845-9307.
