utility bill payment options The Carlisle Utility Dept. is excited to announce new Online Bill Pay and Pay by Phone services in conjunction with SmartBill Corp. These new services will allow auto-bill pay, pay online, and auto pay by phone at any time in the day. These new features add more convenience to our utility customers.
Payments made by credit/debit card will incur a 3.5% fee. Our online bill payment portal has changed to SmartPay Works through the Smartbill customer center. If you previously registered/set-up online bill pay through our previous portal, all of the information from the old portal will be transferred to the new portal. However, you will need to re-register (confirm) your online account. This is not mandatory. It is only for customers who would like to use the online bill pay option or receive invoices via e-mail rather than paper invoices. The card processing fee remains the same at 2.5% of the amount due ($2.50 min.) for online payments and $3.25% ($3.25 min.) for automated phone payments.

Other utility services (i.e. telecommunication, gas/electricity) are provided through independently contracted companies.
The Village installed a community-wide sewer system in the early- to mid-1980s to protect the aquifer from becoming contaminated by Village septic systems. All wastewater generated within the community flows to, and is treated by, the Franklin Regional Wastewater Treatment facility. The Franklin Regional Wastewater Board includes the communities of Franklin, Carlisle, Germantown, as well as Warren County. Veolia is the water plant operator. Trash services are provided by Rumpke Waste & Recycling through a contractual agreement with the Municipality of Carlisle Utility Department.

The Municipality of Carlisle’s water system is quite unique. The majority of Carlisle homes have private wells, which serve as the primary source of potable residential water. The majority of area businesses, as well as public meeting places, are part of the city water system. To determine whether you are able to establish access to the water system, contact the Utility Clerk.
The Municipality of Carlisle does not operate the public water production facility. This facility is owned and operated by the City of Franklin. However, the Carlisle Service Department does maintain and service all of the public water lines and fire hydrants that are located within city limits. The Carlisle Service Department performs the maintenance of the system to ensure that:
These goals are met through many preventive maintenance programs scheduled throughout the year, as well as through regular updates of the water distribution system. Water Distribution System MaintenanceThe goal of the Carlisle Service Department is to guarantee that all residents and businesses receive clean, safe drinking water. To ensure the quality of this water, it is sampled and tested by the Department on a daily basis. In addition, the Service Department performs monthly testing, as well as additional testing throughout the year, as required by the Environmental Protection Agency.
Preventative maintenance on the distribution system is also carried out by the Department. All known leaks in the water distribution system are repaired as quickly as possible. Any time a water main is extended, or a new connection to the line is added, a sample of the existing pipe is taken for inspection, as well as the water being sampled and tested. Flushing of hydrants, particularly dead-end hydrants, are done routinely. Go Green for Stormwater!
What does it mean to make your home green for stormwater? Green stormwater practices around your home use plants, soils, and other elements to manage water quality and mimic the natural water cycle. Green stormwater practices retain, detain, filter, harvest, and infiltrate stormwater runoff to create healthier urban environments.
Incorporating green infrastructure provides many benefits such as improving water quality by removing pollutants, habitat preservation for native plants and animals, decreasing urbanization stream impacts, and overall enhancement of neighborhood aesthetics. The following is a list of management practices that landowners can incorporate on their own property to help control and keep stormwater clean. (Sources: Penn State Extension, United States Environmental Protection Agency)

Short Recap: These days our rain events are much bigger! Controlling stormwater with different management strategies may help control these stormwater events and even help keep the water clean!
