City info via phone

A ‘fax on demand’ feature also allows residents to get forms such as building permits and water and sewer rates via fax. A brochure which explains the system and codes will be sent with the June utility bills. Brochures are also available at the Gilroy City Hall, Library and Museum. To access the touch-tone system call 846-9588.
