Henderson Municipal Code Title 14: Utility Services
The Utility Services Code is incorporated into the Henderson Municipal Code (HMC) as Title 14. Title 14 sets forth City responsibilities, authorities, and provisions to meet all federal and state requirements for water and wastewater while protecting the health, safety, and welfare of the City’s residents and users of City provided utilities and services.
Department Service Rules
The Department Service Rules assure uniformity of interpretation and application of the responsibilities, authorities, and provisions included in Title 14. Additionally, this document should be considered as a resource to outline departmental methods, processes, accepted standards, rates, charges and fees as authorized in Title 14. The Service Rules do not replace the Henderson Municipal Code; they are intended to supplement it. For any conflicts, the Henderson Municipal Code takes precedence.

This document is intended to provide general guidelines and thus it is highly recommended all interested parties contact the City in order to confirm the exact requirements applicable to each project.
