NEW SERVICE AT PAYDAYTONWATER.COM

Release Date: Friday, March 25, 2011
Contact: Cheryl Garrett, Director, Department of Finance, 333-3578

Customers with City of Dayton utility accounts may now enjoy the convenience of online bill payment at www.paydaytonwater.com.

Amounts due may be paid with MasterCard, VISA, American Express and Discover.
Customers may also opt to receive email notification of bill availability rather than mailed paper billing statements. Additional conveniences of the new system include online viewing of account history.

“This is one more way the City of Dayton is enhancing customer service for the community,” said Cheryl Garrett, Dayton’s Finance Director. “The new online system will make it easier for citizens to pay bills and track accounts. It also can help reduce the City’s expenses by cutting down on printing and mailing costs.”

Using the online service requires completion of a quick registration process at www.paydaytonwater.com. City utility bills are generated quarterly and have previously been payable by mail, through an automated telephone system, or in person at City Hall.

Pothole Update

As a result of the huge ice storm a couple of weeks ago – which actually caused more damage than the hurricane winds of 2008 – Division of Street Maintenance crews are still heavily engaged in removing downed trees, branches, and related storm debris. As a result, crews have been unable to devote as much time as usual to filling potholes, which pop up this time of year. While crews are repairing any overly large or dangerous potholes immediately, the many smaller ones are on hold until the storm clean-up efforts are completed early next month.

Large or dangerous potholes should be reported to the Public Works Call Center at 333-4800.
