Looking to Pay Your Water Bill?
We offer ONLINE BILL PAY AND PAPERLESS BILLING! Visit www.xpressbillpay.com to sign up. You will need your full account number. In addition, payments can be dropped off at the drive-up drop box located in the City Hall parking lot or called in over the phone using a credit/debit card for no additional fee.

Service Line Protection Program Available NOW!
If you’ve ever had a water line break on your property, you likely understand the importance of this new program! Most people don’t realize a broken water/sewer line on their property is their responsibility and most often isn’t covered by homeowner’s insurance. The City is partnered with Service Line Warranties of America, who offers inexpensive plans to protect you from the headache and expense of a broken water or sewer line on your property. It’s like an insurance policy, and like any other, you never know when you might need it. More information can be found HERE and HERE, in addition to mailers that have gone out.
