Why Online Water Bill Payment is a Game-Changer
When I first moved to Farmdale, I was shocked at how much time I spent dealing with utility bills. Standing in line at the payment center was never my idea of a fun afternoon! That’s why I was thrilled when I discovered the online payment options available.
Online bill pay offers several advantages:
- Save time – no more driving to payment centers
- 24/7 availability – pay anytime, even at midnight in your pajamas
- Payment tracking – keep records of all transactions
- Automatic payments – never worry about due dates again

- Select “Make a Payment”
- Enter the payment amount
- Choose your payment method (credit card, debit card, or bank account)
