5 Easy Ways to Pay Your Findlay Water Bill: A Complete Guide for Hassle-Free Payments

Are you tired of forgetting to pay your Findlay Township water bill? I’ve been there too! Last month, I almost missed my payment deadline and had to rush to make a payment. That’s why I decided to create this guide to help fellow Findlay residents understand all the available payment options. Let’s dive into the various ways you can pay your Findlay water bill without breaking a sweat!

Understanding Your Findlay Water Bill Payment Options

Findlay Township Municipal Authority (FTMA) provides several convenient methods for paying your water and sewer bills. I’ve personally tried most of these options, and each has its own advantages depending on your preference and schedule.

1. Auto-Pay Program: The Set-It-and-Forget-It Solution

The Auto-Pay Program is my absolute favorite option! FTMA offers a completely FREE automatic payment service that drafts payments directly from your checking or savings account.

How it works:

• FTMA sends you a bill as usual, 20 days before payment is due
• The amount is automatically deducted from your account on the due date
• All financial institutions participate, so you can use your preferred bank
• No more worrying about late fees or missed payments!

To enroll in Auto-Pay you have two options

1. Download and print the Auto-Pay enrollment form from the FTMA website
2. Complete the Auto-Payment enrollment form online

You can include the form with your next water/sewer payment or bring it directly to the FTMA office at 90 Strouss Road.

2. Credit Card Payments: Convenience at Your Fingertips

If you prefer using credit cards for bill payments (and those sweet reward points!), FTMA accepts credit card payments too. However, there’s a small catch:

IMPORTANT: Credit card payments incur a CONVENIENCE FEE of 2.5% (with a minimum fee of $1.50 for ANY charge)

I used this option last winter when I was traveling and couldn’t mail in a check. While the convenience fee was a bit annoying the peace of mind was worth it for me.

3. In-Person Payments: The Traditional Approach

Some folks still prefer the traditional method of paying bills in person, and FTMA accommodates this preference. You can visit their office at

FTMA Office
90 Strouss Road
Imperial, PA 15126

Office Hours: Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

One important thing to remember: FTMA DOES NOT ACCEPT CASH AS A FORM OF PAYMENT. I learned this the hard way when I first moved to Findlay! Make sure to bring a check or money order if paying in person.

4. Drop Box Payment: For the After-Hours Crowd

If you work during FTMA’s regular business hours but still want to submit a physical payment, the drop box option is perfect for you. FTMA maintains a convenient drop box located at:

Drop Box Location
Back of the Municipal Building
1271 Route 30
Clinton, PA

I use this option occasionally when I’m running errands near the Municipal Building. It’s especially helpful if I realize my bill is due soon and I’m already out and about.

5. Online Payment System: The Digital Solution

For those of us who prefer handling everything online, FTMA offers a straightforward online payment system through their website. You can access this by clicking “Pay Your Bill” on their website.

The online system is user-friendly and allows you to make one-time payments or set up recurring payments, depending on your preference.

Frequently Asked Questions About Findlay Water Bill Payments

When are my water bills due?

FTMA typically sends bills 20 days before the payment is due. The specific due date will be printed on your bill. I recommend marking this date on your calendar or setting up a reminder if you’re not using Auto-Pay.

What information do I need to pay my bill online?

You’ll need your account number (found on your bill) and a payment method (credit card or banking information). Having your previous bill handy also helps if you need to reference any specific details.

Can I pay multiple accounts with one payment?

Yes! If you manage several properties or accounts, you can typically arrange to pay multiple accounts with a single payment. Contact FTMA customer service at (724) 695-3108 for specific instructions.

What should I do if I’m experiencing financial hardship?

If you’re struggling to pay your water bill, contact FTMA as soon as possible at (724) 695-3108. Sometimes they can work out payment arrangements rather than risking service interruption.

Benefits of Different Payment Methods

Tips for Hassle-Free Water Bill Payments

After living in Findlay Township for several years, I’ve developed some personal strategies for managing my water bills efficiently:

• Set calendar reminders – Even with Auto-Pay, I like keeping track of when payments will be deducted
• Keep a record of payments – Save confirmation numbers or receipts for at least a year
• Update contact information – Make sure FTMA has your current phone and email for emergency notifications
• Check for leaks regularly – Unexpectedly high bills might indicate household leaks
• Consider paperless billing – This reduces paper waste and gives you digital records

What to Do in Case of Billing Issues

If you notice something unusual on your bill or have questions about charges, don’t hesitate to contact FTMA customer service at (724) 695-3108 during regular business hours. I’ve found their staff to be helpful in explaining charges and resolving issues.

For emergency situations outside of regular business hours, FTMA provides an emergency contact number: (724) 695-7777. Save this number in your phone just in case!

Why I Recommend Auto-Pay for Findlay Water Bills

After trying all the different payment methods, I’ve settled on Auto-Pay as my preferred option for several reasons:

1. It’s completely FREE – unlike credit card payments which incur fees
2. Peace of mind – no more worrying about forgotten payments
3. Still receive bills – you’ll still get your bill 20 days before the due date, giving you time to review charges
4. Works with any bank – compatible with all financial institutions
5. Simple setup – just fill out a one-time form

Setting up Auto-Pay has honestly been one of those small life improvements that makes a big difference in reducing monthly stress. I no longer have to remember to pay my water bill or worry about late fees!
