Update for Utility Billing Customers
City utility customers experienced a recent temporary change in the billing cycle which was a direct result of conversion issues involving program design by the company the City uses for utility billing.
Consequently, utility bills were sent in the mail on Friday, January 24, 2025, and customers have until February 13, 2025, to pay their most recent bill. Utility customer’s next utility bills, however, are planned to be sent on time on Monday, February 10, 2025.
City staff thank you for your patience as we continue to work with the utility billing software company with the conversion to a cloud-based program.
Update for Utility Billing Customers
Utility Billing Customers:
Currently, utility bills are tentatively planned to be distributed this Friday, January 24, 2025. These utility bills will include several additional days from the previous utility bills.
After this utility billing cycle, the next utility bills however, will include less days as the utility bills are planned to be distributed on February 10, 2025, and will be due by February 28, 2025, in accordance with the City’s policy.
Thank you all for your continued support and cooperation as the city continues transitioning the utility billing to the new cloud- based system. Please contact City staff with any questions at 515-994-2649.
Jerry Moore, City Administrator
