Hydrant Flushing:
The City's Fire Hydrants will be flushed the week of March 20th which may cause muddy or cloudy water. This is a normal occurrence when hydrants are flushed. Care should be taken to abstain from washing clothes or the like on these days. If you experience muddy or cloudy water, running your water will help flush the line. If you have questions or concerns, please contact City Hall at 229-874-1259.
REMINDER from the Leslie Fire Department:
Residents are reminded that when the time changes you should check/change the batteries in your smoke detectors.
Water Rates Increase February 1st:
At a Public Hearing held in November 2022, the decision was made to increase water rates. The City of Leslie has not had an increase in rates since 2009; and in spite of the increase, water rates in Leslie remain well below that of other cities in the area. Effective February 1, 2023, rates will be as follows:
OLD BASE RATES: Residential $14.00 Commercial $20.00
NEW BASE RATES: Residential $18.00 Commercial $25.00
This increase will be reflected on the bill you receive in February (due March 1). If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact City Hall at 229-874-1259.
2022 Property Taxes:
Residents are reminded that Property Taxes are due December 20, 2022. If you have any questions, please contact City Hall at 229-874-1259.

If you are interested in purchasing a 4 x 8 brick paver for the Leslie Memorial Wall, please contact Benjie Johnson at 229-942-1111 or City Hall at 229-874-1259 to obtain an order form. Bricks are $100.00 each.
Reminders for All Residents:
Dogs at Large/Leash Laws: Dogs are not allowed to freely roam the streets. Dogs must be leashed and accompanied by the owner or other person having charge of the dog (City Ordinance Sec. 5-36). Fines for "Dogs at Large" are now being imposed in the amount of $145.00 for the first offense; $212.50 for the 2nd offense; and $280.00 for the 3rd offense.
Property Maintenance/Upkeep: All property owners and tenants are responsible for keeping their properties/premises in a sanitary condition and to prevent the accumulation or overgrowth of vegetation, trash or rubbish, etc. (City Ordinance Sec. 13-1; 13-10).
Mosquito Spraying: Residents are charged $2.00 per month (on an annual basis) for mosquito spraying. This spraying is done by plane and occurs twice per month. It should be noted that the timing of such spraying is dependent upon the weather. If you have standing water in or around your yard, or heavy vegetation, you may need to use additional measures to control the mosquitoes in your area. Although the spraying provided by the city cannot completely eliminate the mosquitoes, we hope that it does offer some relief given the fee is nominal when shared by all residents.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact City Hall at 229-874-1259 or lesliepd@sowega.net.
