Utility Billing FAQs
How do I start utility service, and what documents are required?

Complete the applicable utility service application and submit it to Utility Billing. Staff will confirm the documents, fees, and any deposit required for your address. Visit the Utility Billing page for applications and instructions.

When is my utility bill due?

Payment is due on the 5th of each month. A 10% late fee is assessed on the 6th. To avoid disconnection, pay the bill and late fee by the 15th. If the 15th falls on a weekend or holiday, you have until the next business day.

Why am I charged when I use little or no water?

Water service includes a monthly minimum charge covering the first 1,500 gallons. Additional usage is billed at the applicable tier rates.

Does scheduling an online payment prevent disconnection?

Scheduling a payment after the disconnection deadline does not prevent your service from being disconnected. Contact Utility Billing if you need an extension.

Why do I need to enter my ZIP code?

Our payment processor uses your billing ZIP code as an additional security check to help prevent unauthorized use of your credit or debit card.

Which ZIP code should I use?

Use the billing ZIP code your bank or card issuer has on file for the card you’re using. This may be different from the ZIP code for your home, utility service address, or City account mailing address.

My payment was declined because of the ZIP code. What should I do?
  1. Check the ZIP code you entered for typing errors.
  2. Confirm your card’s billing address through your bank’s website or app, or a recent card statement.
  3. If you recently moved, check whether your bank still has your previous address.
  4. If the ZIP code appears correct and your payment is still declined, call the number on the back of your card. Ask the issuer to confirm the billing ZIP code and address format on file.
Should I enter five digits or ZIP+4?

Follow the format requested by the payment screen. If your ZIP code is still rejected, ask your card issuer whether it has a five-digit ZIP code or ZIP+4 on file. The USPS ZIP Code Lookup can help identify an address’s postal ZIP code, but your card issuer must confirm what is associated with your card.

I updated my address with the City. Does that update my card’s billing address?

No. Your City utility account and your payment card are separate accounts. Contact your bank or card issuer to update your card’s billing address.

I’m paying someone else’s utility bill. Which ZIP code do I enter?

Enter the billing ZIP code associated with the card you’re using, even if the utility account belongs to someone else.

Can I request more time to pay?

Contact Utility Billing to request an extension to the 25th of the month. Each account is limited to two extensions per calendar year. The full amount, including incurred fees, must be paid by the extended deadline.

Does the City offer payment plans?

The City does not offer installment payment plans. You may contact Utility Billing to ask about an available payment extension.

Can my late fee be waived?

Residential customers may request one late-fee waiver within a 12-month period. Contact Utility Billing to request a review.

What must I pay to restore disconnected service?

All past-due amounts and associated fees must be paid before service is restored.

Can I receive an adjustment for a water leak?

A qualifying residential leak may receive an adjustment of up to 50% of the leakage, subject to review. Documentation of the leak and repair may be required. Only one adjustment is allowed per 12 months; minimum charges still apply. Commercial adjustments are limited to qualifying underground leaks.

Where can I find current rates and service fees?

View the City’s Utility Fee Schedule for water and sewer rates, deposits, connection fees, and other service charges.

How do I close my account when I move?

Submit a disconnect request to Utility Billing and provide your requested service end date and forwarding address. Contact staff to confirm that your request has been processed. The disconnect request form is available on the Utility Billing page.

I still need help. Who should I contact?

For questions about your card’s billing ZIP code or a card decline, contact your bank or card issuer. For questions about your utility account or other payment options, contact City of Aubrey Utility Billing at 940-440-9343 or email utilities@aubreytx.gov.
