  2. Choose Utility Billing accounts.
    The City payment page lists Utility Billing accounts as one of the online payment services.

Junction City Utility Billing Services: What Customer Service Can Help With

The City Customer Service page is important because it does more than collect payments. It lists bill payment and establishing water, sewer and sanitation services among available services.

Need
Best contact or action
What to prepare
Pay a bill

Start, Stop or Change Water, Sewer and Sanitation Service

Junction City utility service can involve more than water. The official Customer Service page lists establishing water, sewer and sanitation services, so moving customers should handle all three together instead of assuming only the water account changes.

  1. Call Customer Service before your move date.
    Use 785-238-3103 for water, wastewater and trash collection service questions.
  2. Prepare the service address.
    Have the exact Junction City address, apartment/unit number if any, requested start or stop date and contact information.
  3. Ask what documents are required.
    Requirements can vary by account type, tenant/owner status or business/residential service.
  4. Confirm sanitation service.
    Since water, sewer and sanitation may be tied to utility billing, ask how trash/sanitation service will appear on your bill.
  5. Save the confirmation.
    Keep the date, staff instructions and any confirmation number until your first or final bill is correct.
Move-out tip: Ask how the final bill will be sent, where any refund should go, and whether a final meter reading is needed before you leave the property.

Report a Leaking Water Main, Water Meter Issue or Field Problem

Billing questions go to Customer Service, but field problems such as leaking water mains, leaking meters and blocked sewers should be reported through the Public Works/after-hours path listed in the official Water and Sewer FAQ.

Water/sewer issue contacts: Call Public Works at 785-238-7142 during normal business hours. At night or on weekends, call Junction City Police Department at 785-238-5912.
  1. Identify whether it is billing or field service.
    A balance question is billing. A leaking main, blocked sewer, meter leak or visible utility problem is a field issue.
  2. Give the exact location.
    Share the street address, cross street, landmark, side of the road and whether water or sewage is visible.
  3. Keep people away from unsafe water.
    Do not let children, pets or vehicles enter standing water, sewage or soft ground near a possible utility break.
  4. Take photos only if safe.
    Photos can help your own records, but do not step into traffic, water or sewage.
  5. Follow up with billing later if needed.
    Handle the safety or field issue first, then call Customer Service if it affects your utility bill.

High Junction City Water Bill Checklist

Junction City’s Water and Sewer FAQ explains the basic reason high bills happen: water meters record all water that passes through the meter. If plumbing, toilets or faucets leak, the bill can rise even when your normal use feels unchanged.

Running toilet Put a few drops of food coloring in the tank. If color reaches the bowl without flushing, the toilet is leaking.
Dripping faucet Small drips add up over the billing cycle, especially when several fixtures leak at once.
Outdoor line Check hose bibs, irrigation, garden lines, pool fill lines and wet spots in the yard.
Meter movement Turn off all water and see whether the meter still moves. Movement can point to a hidden leak.
Monthly meter read Junction City says meters are read monthly for water, sewer and sanitation billing.
Usage alerts The City FAQ mentions setting up water usage alerts through an online account guide.

Before calling about a high bill, collect this

  • Current utility bill and previous bill.
  • Account number and service address.
  • Approximate date the usage changed.
  • Notes about guests, irrigation, outdoor water or household changes.
  • Plumber invoice, parts receipt or photos if you fixed a leak.
  • Any online usage alert or payment history screenshot.

Planning to Dig? Call 811 Before Touching Water or Sewer Lines

Do not skip this: Call 811 before digging for fences, landscaping, sprinkler lines, driveway work, drainage projects or any yard excavation.
  1. Call 811 before digging.
    Request utility locates early enough to allow time for marking.
  2. Wait for the locate response.
    The City FAQ says to allow 72 hours for responding to locates.
  3. Respect the markings.
    Do not remove flags or markings before your work is complete.
  4. Dig carefully around marked utilities.
    Even small projects can damage water, sewer, gas, electric or communications lines.
