CareFlite

On May 5th, 2015 the Terrell City Council adopted Ordinance 2631 (PDF) requiring all residential and multi-family utility customers to pay $1 one dollar per month for participation in the Medical Service Program.

This allows the customer to use CareFlite ambulance services in the event of a medical emergency.

Any Utility Customer who desires to not participate in the EMS Membership Program shall sign and file a declaration of nonparticipation, on forms prescribed and provided by the City,
