Description

Press release from the City of Greensboro: 09/28/2021 9:30 AM Water Resources will resume normal water cut off procedures for non-payment of water bills starting October 4, using a phased approach. This means that accounts with a high balance and no payment received or accounts not covered under a payment plan will be disconnected first. Water Resources staff urge customers to pay any amount possible toward their monthly bills and to establish payment plans for the balance.  To help, the department has instituted several payment options such as an installment plan and a "promise-to-pay" plan. Learn more on this Water Resources Web page. With an installment plan, repayments of a past due account can be spread out over six months. A "promise-to-pay" plan is for short-term extensions for one bill.  Payment plans can be arranged by calling the City's Contact Center at 336-373-CITY (2489) on Mondays through Fridays from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm.  The following utility bill payment options are available: Online at www.greensboro-nc.gov/WaterBill By credit or debit card by phone at 336-373-IPAY (4729) By Bank Draft By Mail (City of Greensboro, PO Box 1170, Greensboro, NC 27402-1170) In person or use the payment drop-box located at the J.
