  Are any utilities paid?

  As the resident you are responsible for your utilities. City Utilities of Springfield (Tel: 417-863-9000) is the only utility company in Springfield. As such, you would not be juggling four bills or four companies, as they will itemize each utility on the same bill: water, sewer, gas, and electric will each be listed out. The bill will show how much of each utility was used for the month, what the usage cost, and the total of utilities will be at the bottom.
