We hope you find Camden a great place to call home. The following information will help your move go a little smoother.
Camden provides water, wastewater and trash service to our residents. You will need to establish your new account during normal business hours. The office is not open on Saturday or Sunday so please plan your move accordingly. The office location is 153 W. Main Street. A deposit of $75 is required for each of these utilities, $150 total deposit. The office will accept cash, check or credit card. When you move out, this deposit can be applied to your final bill or refunded to you once your account has been paid in full. The water and wastewater are billed based on the metered number of gallons of water used. There is a minimum bill which is charged for usage from 0 – 3000 gallons. All usage over 3000 gallons is billed by metered gallons. Your bill will be mailed the first of each month, late payment penalties (10% of the water, hydrant fee, sewer and trash charge) are applied on the 10th and water is discontinued for non-payment if payment is not made by the 25th. There is a reconnect fee of $25 if your water is shut-off for non-payment. Snowbirds can request to have their service discontinued through the winter months and reactivated in the spring without being accessed the reconnect fee. Please call 574-686-2121 if you have any questions.
Trash service is also provided by the town and billed on your monthly statement. Trash is picked up on Tuesdays. Please have your trash to the curb, preferably in a trash can but bags are acceptable, by Wednesday evening. Trash cans are preferred as they will deter dogs, cats, and raccoons from getting into your trash and causing a mess for you to clean-up. “Spring Clean-Up” takes place in early summer, usually in May. This is a good time to dispose of your larger items but there are restrictions on what is allowed to go into the landfills. Hazardous items are not accepted at any time. Questions on what will be taken can be answered by T K Trash Kans at 1-765-447-9000.
Recyclables and items not accepted by the regular trash service should be taken to the Carroll County Transfer Station at 1298 N 625 W Delphi. Certain items are banned from the landfill and must be taken to the recycle center for proper disposal – all electronic, batteries, oil base paints, oil and tires are just a few examples of what must go to the Transfer Station. Please call 765-564-3114 with questions about fees which may be charged for disposal of certain items.
Most homes in Camden have a post office box for mail delivery. The Post Office is located at 108 W Main Street. Please visit them to set up your mail service.
