The distribution warehouse is located at 313 E. Antelope Street. We also operate the water distribution system for the city from this location.

we have staff on-call 24-hours a day for electric or water problems. You can call the city office at 724-8918 or the warehouse at 724-4447 to report any problems. After hours, call 724-6216.

Water Problems in Your Home or Business? Please do not remove the meter pit lid. The stop in the pit is for our use and was not intended to be a shut off for customer's use. If you don't have a valve, please contact a license plumber and have one installed. Tampering with city equipment could result in fines.

Electric Problems? Please do not remove the meter can cover, or the electric meter. All electric services shall be equipped with a service disconnect. If you do not have an electric disconnect, have a licensed electrician install one.

Construction and repairs. Any electric or water repairs or improvements need have permits and inspections. The permits can be obtained from the city office. You may also need to get in contact with the city codes enforcement officer. The phone number is 724-4542 or the city office at 724-8918.

Trees. We can trim trees away from the electric lines. If you think that a tree needs to be cut, call the city office at 724-8918, or the electric and water department at 724-4447.

Conservation. We at the city encourage conservation. this helps with everyone's utility costs. Many devices are available for electric and water conservation, such as energy efficient light bulbs, appliances and air conditioning. There are water saving shower heads and low use flush water closets. Also, we encourage everyone to keep their plumbing fixtures in good repair. A faucet that drips, or a toilet that runs, can be expensive.

The Electric and Water Department want to make Girard, "A Great Place to Call Home".

Sincerely,

Kurt Ziegler, Utility Superintendent
