City announces Utility Billing online
The City of Batavia is excited to introduce a new program, Utility Billing Online, for all utility billing customers.
The initial sign up process is quick and easy. To start, you must have an eNews account. Go to cityofbatavia.net/enews and sign up. If you already have an eNews account, go to cityofbatavia.net/ubonline and sign up. To sign up you will need:
The City will email you each month when your bill is ready to view. Paying your bill is easy, too. Sign up for the direct debit program and when viewing your bill on-line, all you need to do is record the amount of your bill in your checkbook along with the due date and that’s it. The amount due will be deducted on the due date of your bill. You will never have to worry about writing a check or mailing your payment and you will never pay any late fees. You can take advantage of both paperless billing and direct pay together, but you can choose any options you like. The form for direct debit program may be printed from the Web site or you can stop by or call for a copy. Once the form is completed and signed you can mail it back or drop it off in the east or west side drop box. Direct pay will be activated for your next issued bill. If you have any questions about any of the programs, please contact the City 630-454-2020 or utilbill@cityofbatavia.net. It’s raining barrels and gardens—get your barrel now!
The Conservation Foundation will conduct a presentation on Rain Barrels and Rain Gardens on April 14 at 7 pm. Rain barrels are a simple, efficient, low-cost method for homeowners to collect and recycle water.
Rain barrels are simply large containers that capture rainwater at the end of your downspout, which you can then use to water plants, wash your car, and further lower your water bill while also reducing polluted runoff from getting to our rivers and streams!
Rain gardens are shallow depressions planted with native plants that are accustomed to wet conditions. Rain gardens help to collect and filter rainwater and allow it to seep naturally into the ground. This helps to reduce the amount of pollutants and rainwater runoff reaching our streams. This educational program will cover a variety of information including the use of rain barrels, rain gardens, and the selection and use of native plants to solve yard problems. If you have questions about this presentation please contact Noel Basquin in the Engineering Department, 630-454-2750. Come to City Hall Council Chambers on Wednesday, April 14, at 7 pm to learn more! |
