Core services include electricity distribution (purchased wholesale from Grand River Dam Authority and transmitted over a 13,200/7,200 volt system with three substations and approximately 100 miles of distribution lines), water treatment and distribution (sourced from the 3,000-acre Brushy Creek Lake, treated at a 6 million gallon per day plant operational since December 2007), wastewater collection and treatment, sanitation, landfill operations, police (ISO-rated area), fire (ISO rating 3), animal welfare, parks and recreation, and municipal court.
