How to Pay a Water Bill
There are multiple different ways residents can pay their monthly water bill:
Auto Pay Options:
1. Set up an automatic payment through bank draft. Complete and return the Preauthorized Electronic Withdrawals Form (PDF) with a voided check. Checking account drafts do not have an additional fee and are typically processed on the 18th of each month.
2. Set up an automatic payment on a credit or debit card. Log in or create an online account and enroll in Auto Pay. This option is customer-managed so you can set up the payments to process on your desired date. There is an additional processing fee of $1.25 per transaction.
One-Time Payment Options:
1. Pay with a check. Mail or drop off a check at Town Hall prior to the bill due date each month. A 24/7 payment drop box is located on the sidewalk on the south side of Town Hall.
2. Pay in person with cash or credit card. You may come into Town Hall during business hours to pay with cash or a credit or debit card. There is an additional process fee of 1.5% per transaction for credit and debit cards.
3. Call the automated phone system. Call 1-833-431-1749 to pay by credit or debit card through a secure phone system. This opinion is available 24 hours a day. There is an additional processing fee of $1.25 per transaction.
