town services
Local government provisions
Town services are the public functions and utilities provided by a municipal government to its residents.
These typically include water supply, sewage treatment, trash collection, road maintenance, snow removal, police and fire protection, and parks.
The town services here are excellent—they even pick up yard waste.
Property taxes usually fund town services.
