First time filing small claims court

[Steve Balinski]

Hello, I could use help from anyone who has filed for small claims on their own.  

My previous tenant didnt pay their water bill for $525, I'd like to go after them for a judgement.  When I file, do I just need to file the small claims form, or do I also need to submit the bill itself from the city as well as the lease? Or do I just bring that all to the court case?

Also, can I serve the tenant myself, or does it need to be "someone official" like a process server?
