HYDRANT FLUSHING:

The City's Fire Hydrants will be flushed on Tuesday, April 22, 2025, which may cause muddy or cloudy water. This is a normal occurrence when hydrants are flushed. Care should be taken to abstain from washing clothes or the like on this day. If you experience muddy or cloudy water, running your water will help flush the line. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact City Hall at (229) 874-1259.

Next Scheduled Council Meeting:

The next regular monthly meeting of the Mayor and City Council is scheduled for Monday, April 21, 2025, beginning at 6:30 p.m., in the Municipal Building. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact City Hall at 229-874-1259.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

At a called meeting held on February 20, 2025, the Mayor and City Council of the City of Leslie, Georgia, elected to opt out of the State-wide adjusted base year ad valorem homestead exemption for Leslie, Georgia.

Increase in Mosquito Spray Fee:

Effective January 2025, the Mosquito Spray Fee will increase from $2.00 to $3.00 per month. This is necessary in order to offset the City's increased cost of spraying. Additional efforts are being made to decrease the cost by adjusting the mosquito spraying schedule as shown below. By adhering to this schedule, the City was able to limit the increase to $1.00 although it still falls short of recouping the City's total cost. This spraying is done by plane and the exact timing is dependent upon the weather. If you have standing water in or around your yard, or heavy vegetation, you may need to use additional measures to control the mosquitoes in your area. Although the spraying provided by the city cannot completely eliminate the mosquitoes, we hope that it does offer some relief given the fee is nominal when shared by all residents. If you have any questions or would like more information, please stop by City Hall or call 229-874-1259.
