If you rent a property in Lubbock, you must call the City of Lubbock Utilities (COLU) for Water, Sewer, and Trash. If you live outside the city limits, COLU may not provide trash service, and a private company must be used. If this is the case, then the owner of your unit will already have the services set up and will bill you for those services.
