You are invited to use our new DRIVE-IN window in paying your water bills.
Conveniently located in the center of the block north of City Hall, on
Second and Cedar streets. North Second Street is a one-way street going
west, making the pay window on the driver's side. You will find it to be
convenient and time-saving. No parking and overparking worries. There is
also a walk-up-to window facing east where you may pay instead of having
to walk up the steps to the water office. It is optional—you may pay at
either window. Please bring your water bill with you. Our veteran cashier,
Mrs. Fred Osborne, will be in charge of the DRIVE-IN window.
A night depository just to the left of the walk-up-to window is provided for
your convenience in paying bills after business hours.
