Irrigation	Check before spring/summer startup and after mowing.	Broken heads and underground irrigation leaks can be expensive.

What do you need?

Safety tip: Use the official city, county, or utility website when paying a water bill. Do not enter card or bank details on a page that only looks like a payment portal but does not clearly identify the official utility.

Safe Water Bill Payment Checklist

Before paying online, use this checklist to reduce the risk of wrong payment, duplicate payment, missed receipt, or third-party confusion.

The payment page is linked from the official city, county, or utility website.

The page asks for your utility account number, customer number, or service address.

The page uses HTTPS and shows the utility/payment processor name clearly.

Any card fee, e-check fee, or convenience fee is shown before payment.

You can save or print a confirmation number after payment.

You checked whether late, shutoff, or reconnect notices require calling the office after payment.

Important: Some official utilities use third-party processors. That can be normal, but the payment processor should be linked from the official utility website and show clear fee/payment details.

Late Bill, Shutoff Notice & Reconnection Action Plan

Select your situation and get practical next steps. This helps users act quickly without guessing.

What is your current situation?

Do not wait: If you received a shutoff notice, online payment alone may not stop disconnection. Call the utility billing office and save your confirmation number.
