New Resident Guide
Welcome to Redfield. Here's what to set up in your first week.
Welcome to Redfield, we're glad to have you!
Most days you'll find me at City Hall on First Street. If you have a question, need to set up utilities, want to license the dog, or just want to know when the next Council meeting is, that's where to start. The mayor and City Council set the direction for the town, and I'm here to make the day-to-day work for you. Stop in, call, or send an email. That's what I'm here for.

Your first-week essentials
Whether you're renting, buying, or moved in with family, this is the short list of who to call to get running. Anything you can't find here, call City Hall or ask the chat widget in the corner.
Water, sewer & trash
The City of Redfield handles all three on one monthly bill. To start service, stop by City Hall or call 515.833.2512.
AJS Sanitation collects trash and recycling under contract with the city, so you don't need to call them separately.
