We all love a safe, clean water supply thanks to our local municipal service. From our city well supply to our water tower to your home’s tap, we pride ourselves on ensuring you always have water when you want it. Thanks to regular testing and careful monitoring, you can rely on our city water for drinking, cooking, bathing, filling up your swimming pool, washing your car, & even watering your lawn, flowers, garden, pets & more.
Rural water customers are charged 120% of inside city users.
Irrigation Water Rates: An additional IRRIGATION ONLY meter may be added to a property for an extra $7.20/month plus water usage per the standard water utility usage rates. Water for irrigation must be contained to yard/landscaping so there isn’t any sewer use.

Sewer rental services are also provided by our local municipal utility. Your property’s service line feeds into our city mains and distribution system to be managed at our 5-lagoon treatment facility on the southeast edge of town. You are responsible for the line from your home or business up to where it connects with the city’s line. We take it from there! Your sewer cost is tied into your water usage, unless you have an additional irrigation-only meter.

Paullina contracts with Town & Country Disposal to provide garbage/recycling, which is billed through our municipal utility.

Since May 2000, Paullina and three other communities (Hartley, Primghar & Sanborn) took ownership of The Telecommunications Agency, or TCA. Thanks to this local control, Paullina offers our residents & businesses a state-of-the-art fiber network capable of delivering any telecom service, including internet, telephone, & cable TV. In City Hall, we accept payments & equipment exchanges/returns for TCA but do not handle billing. See tcaexpress.net for details.
