We are aware this is an issue with accessing the .pdf files of your July utility bills that were just released. The fix is not possible online but if you would like a detailed copy of your utility bill, please email Bobbi at citymdvl@grm.net and she can email it to you outside of the FrontDesk system. Or a paper copy can be mailed to you upon request. As a reminder though, Bobbi is out of the office Monday, July 31 thru Tuesday, August 8. 

The below survey was mailed out to all households a couple months ago. These are SUPER important for everyone in Meadville to complete and return. Without these completed surveys, we are unable to apply for grant funding to make the desired street improvements. If you need another copy, please call Bobbi at 6602149070 or send an email request to citymdvl@grm.net and one will be forwarded to you to complete. 
BE SURE to write your address or utility account number on the survey for tracking purposes only. This is not an effort to take your confidential information. We do have to show the governmental entities that we've not received duplicate surveys. 

​RESOLVED! We are aware of an issue with the online billing system, FrontDesk. The online system is not currently syncing with the master file. If you've paid your utility account and it's not reflected in the online FrontDesk system, please do not worry. Call 660.214.9070 with any questions. We're working with tech support to get this resolved as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience.
