Traditional Payment Methods

Not everyone prefers online payments, and Orrville Utilities understands this They offer several traditional payment methods for customers who prefer a more conventional approach

Mail a Payment

You can mail your payment using

• Check
• Money order
• Cashier’s check

Remember to include the payment stub from your bill and mail it to:

Orrville UtilitiesP.O. Box 107Orrville, OH 44667

Pro tip: Always include your name and utility account number on your payment method. And please, don’t mail cash!

24/7 Drop Box

Orrville Utilities maintains a secure drop box available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You’ll find it at 125 W. Water Street, on the south side of the City Hall Building.

During business hours, the drop box is checked multiple times throughout the day. After-hours payments are processed the next business day. It’s recommended to include your bill stub in the envelope with your payment.

Automatic Payment Options

ACH (Automatic Clearing House) Payments

If you’re like me and constantly forget due dates, setting up automatic payments might be your best option. With ACH payments, your balance is automatically drafted from your checking or savings account each month on the due date.

To set up ACH payments:

1. Complete the ACH application form
2. Include a void check
3. Submit these documents via email to [email protected] or mail them to P.O. Box 107, Orrville, OH 44667

If you later need to cancel your ACH payments, there’s a form for that too! Just remember to allow 3 business days for any changes to update in the system.

For those who prefer consistent monthly payments, Orrville Utilities offers a budget billing program for residential customers. Here are the key details:

• Enrollment deadline: May 1 each year
• Eligibility: Must have service in your name at your current residence for at least one year
• Payment method: Budget payments require automatic ACH payments

My Personal Experience with Orrville Utilities

I’ve been using the online payment system for about 2 years now, and I gotta say it’s made my life SO much easier! Before that, I was constantly forgetting to mail my payment and getting those annoying late fees. Now, I get an email reminder when my bill is ready, and I can pay it right away from my phone or computer.

The budget billing option has also been a lifesaver during those crazy summer months when my electricity usage goes through the roof with the air conditioning running non-stop. Instead of getting hit with a massive bill in July and August, I pay the same amount every month, which makes budgeting way easier.

Final Thoughts

Managing your Orrville Utilities bill doesn’t have to be complicated or stressful. With so many convenient payment options available, you can choose the method that best fits your lifestyle and preferences.

For the most seamless experience, I recommend setting up online payments and opting for paperless billing. Not only is it more convenient, but it’s also better for the environment!
