About E‑Billing
While paper billing will continue to be available, the Town encourages residents to switch to e‑billing.
Currently, approximately:
- 31% of residents receive water/wastewater bills electronically, and
- 16% receive property tax bills electronically
As a result, thousands of paper bills are still mailed each month, leading to approximately $24,700 in annual postage costs, in addition to significant printing expenses. Transitioning to e-billing would help reduce these unnecessary costs and support more environmentally sustainable practices.
Benefits of E‑Billing
Switching to e‑billing offers many advantages:
- Modern and efficient service delivery
- 24/7 access to bills on any device
- Reduced paper waste and environmental impact
- Lower costs associated with printing and mailing
- Secure and reliable delivery via email
Signing up takes just minutes.
Note: If you do not receive your e‑bill, please check your junk or spam folder.

- Winners will be selected by random draw from all eligible participants.
- Winners will be notified by email or phone within five (5) business days of the draw.
