The Dover Utilities Commission seeks two Dover citizens to join its ranks. Members appointed to the DUC serve three-year terms, meeting monthly, unless circumstances require more frequent meetings.

DUC recommends general policies for the water and sewer functions of the Community Services Department. They also make recommendations regarding the development, maintenance, operation and expansion of the water supply system in the city. In addition, the DUC advises the city on policy, rate structure, public relations and matters of general public interest. The DUC is also tasked with hearing and deciding abatement appeals.

The DUC also has the authority to formulate public water and sewer system rules in the city, subject to the review and approval of the City Council. Annually, the DUC reviews water and sewer charges and recommends any revisions necessary to reflect actual operation and maintenance costs.
