• Required Services
  

Pursuant to its incorporation plan, the Town is to provide four of the following eight

municipal services for the town: 1. police protection; 2. fire protection; 3. solid waste

collection or disposal;  4. water distribution;  5. street construction or right-of-way

acquistion; 7. street lighting; 8. zoning.  The charter does not specify which services

have to be provided.  Furthermore, any municipality incorporated on or after January

1, 2000 must include in its annual budget appropriations for at least four of the same

statutory list of eight services.  If the town does not allocate these funds every year the

town may not be eligible to receive certain state collected tax revenues.  At the present,

fire protection is provided by Midway Fire and Rescue along with Gumtree Fire and

Rescue Department.  Water distribution is provided by Davidson Water.  Both of these

services are paid for through their own respective taxing districts, thus requiring no

appropriations by the Town.  The Town Council will provide the services that are the

most economically feasible.

• Sewer Update
  

    

        All lines are completed along with the pump station.  Some businesses are in the process

         of hooking onto the sewer system.

       

• Sanitation Services
  

The Town Council voted to approve an amendment to the contract with North

       Davidson Garbage Collection at the June 30th planning meeting.  Any resident

that has one garbage container will not be charged for this service.  The cost

for any resident that has two containers will be $15.00 per month.  An additional

$7.00 will be charged to the residents that want pickup other than at the curbside.

If you have any questions about the charges you may contact Town Hall at 764-5455

or North Davidson Garbage Collection at 731-4025.  The charges are per month.

Please remember they will not pick up large items such as appliances, bicycles,

etc.  All garbage must be in the container.  They will not pick up any garbage if it

is not in the container owned by North Davidson Garbage.

             The Town of Midway will start recycling the first week in February.  All residents will

     receive information along with an 18 gallon bin from North Davidson Garbage.  Please

     take time to recyle.  The residents of Midway will benefit by saving on the disposal fees.

     The recycling day corresponds with the day your garbage service occurs. You do not

     need to separate the items.  Just place them in the bin so that the lighter items are not

     dispersed by the elements.   To receive more information concerning the recycling         

             efforts please click on the highlighted area. If you have any questions or concerns

             please contact North Davidson Garbage.
