Community Access Center
Share
"A place of care and hope where people are served and serve others." The Community Access Center (CAC) was established following the flood in July, 2007.
Its purpose is to bring agencies and services together within the walls of the center in order to serve families and individuals more effectively and to prevent duplication of services. The Community Access Center has a variety of resources available to assist a family or individual and also has staff persons who can help assess their needs, match resources to needs, make referrals where appropriate, and partner with other service organizations in the community.

In frigid temperatures, water systems are susceptible to freezing. If you lose water service entirely and suspect an issue on your property, contact a professional plumber. If you suspect an issue other than frozen pipes in your home or on your property – such as a meter issue or major water line break - call 620-332-2500 (daytime) or 620-332-1700 or 620-332-2515 (after hours).
