Public Utilities

We welcome you as a customer of the Blanchard Municipal Improvement Authority and would like to acquaint you with some of the policies and procedures of the Utility Department.

For after hours assistance, please contact the City's Communications Center and they will dispatch city crews.

The Utilities Customer Service is responsible for processing new connects, disconnect requests, transfers, balance inquiry, payment extensions and agreements, leak adjustments, insufficient checks, new meter taps, and construction portable water meters. We also answer all customer service calls related to billing on behalf of Waste Connections questions.

For All New Customers

All customers requesting new service must fill out a Utility Application Form and bring it to City Hall during normal business hours before an account is created. Please attach two (2) forms of I.D. One of which should be in the form of a valid state or federal government issued identification card, such as a state issued driver's license, state issued identification card, a U.S. government issued passport or visa, or a U.S. military identification card, all of which must contain a photograph of the customer AND one other form which may be a birth certificate, voter registration card, or Native American tribal document.

A deposit that is refundable is required when the account is finalized.

All customers transferring from one house (served by Blanchard utilities) to another (served by Blanchard utilities) is required to fill out the Transfer/Update Form (see DOC CENTER) and bring one form of I.D. containing a photograph of the customer to City Hall.

If you are renting, a copy of your lease agreement or rental receipt from your landlord must be provided. New homeowners will need the settlement statement or closing documents for the property.

Applications submitted before noon will have utility services established the same day, and applications submitted before 4.30 p.m. will have services established the next business day.
