The worry-free way to pay your water bill.

There is no set-up fee or charge associated with this method of payment. You will still receive your bill each month, you simply record the amount in your check register. To set up Automated Bank Draft, simply download and fill out the Bank Draft Agreement located in the Forms & Reports Section and drop it off or mail it to our office along with a voided check.

You may pay your bill in person at our office address. We accept cash, check, or money orders. To avoid longer wait times, please note that Mondays, Fridays and the first day after a holiday are normally very busy. Also for your convenience, we have a night drop slot on the side of our building next to the drive thru window.
Payment Through Financial Institution Online Bill Pay
Many financial institutions such as major banks offer their customers the ability to pay their bills via an online bill payment service (through your bank's website). Normally, these services debit the customer's checking or savings account to pay the bill. Depending on the financial institution, they may or may not charge a fee for the service. Payments may take up to seven business days to post to the customer's account. Please consult with your bank for more information.
