Online Payments

If you want to pay your utility bill online, visit www.xpressbillpay.com.

Our online bill payment option, Xpress Bill Pay, saves you time and gives you more flexibility in how you pay your utility bill. If you have an Internet connection, email address, and utility account number, you can pay your bill online. It's fast, it's easy, and you no longer have to write a check each month or find a stamp when it's time to send in your payment.

How It Works

We have partnered with Xpress Bill Pay, the premier provider for online bill payment systems.

When you sign up for online bill payment, you get a unique password that you use to access your personal account. We'll send you a reminder email every month to let you know when your bill is online.

Then, just log in through your web browser and view your bill, which will look like the paper statement you're familiar with. Select a payment type, enter the information, and you're done!

It's that easy, and it only takes you a few minutes each month.

How to Sign Up
