What are Municipalities?
We often associate municipalities with our municipal councils and the people who serve as elected officials on those councils. Municipalities also provide essential, local services such as road maintenance, water and sewer services, and garbage collection. Municipalities share the characteristics of having land and boundaries, providing residents with ways to make decisions about local issues, and being a focus for community activities.
