HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The City of Hutchinson has implemented a new billing system that began operation Tuesday. City Manager John Deardoff commented on the software upgrade:

 

To view statements or pay a bill online, residents must sign up on the city’s website at waterbill.hutchgov.com. If residents sign up before Sept. 1, the city will offer a $5 credit.

If residents have provided a voided check, their current payment option will continue and customers won’t be required to provide another voided check. If residents signed up online for payments to be automatically charged to a debit or credit card, they will need to sign up again as the information does not transfer to the new website.

Deardoff says implementation of the new program has been a long process. He hopes the public will understand there could be a few glitches at the start:

 

The new system provides a number of options to pay, including ACH/automatic payment, by phone at 620-694-2621, or online at waterbill.hutchgov.com. Residents can also deposit checks or money orders at the 24-hour drop off at City Hall or by mail at P.O. Box 1567.
