Fill out a Direct Payment form online

Download a fillable pdf form and return to the Finance Office with a voided check.

Your Direct Payment form must be submitted at least ten (10) days before your current bill is due. If received after the 1st, you will need to pay your bill by mail, in person, or via the Community Portal.

PLEASE NOTE: Your utility payment will be applied the first business day prior to the 10th of the month. If the 10th is a Sunday or Monday, then your payment will be withdrawn from your bank on Friday. This date is not flexible. To arrange an autopay on a different day, you will need to cancel your automatic bank draft & sign up on the Community Connect portal (fees apply).
