The City of Montgomery offers automatic payment from your checking/savings account for utilities. There is no charge and you still receive a statement each month.

Please continue to make payments until your utility statement states that payment is made by automatic transfer. It may take up two (2) billing cycles for the automatic payment plan to start. Once the automatic payment plan is set up on your account, the amount due on your utility bill will be withdrawn from your bank account on approximately the 22nd day of the month.

Holidays
Keep in mind extra company means more water used.
Leaks
A continuous drip or leak adds up over time. Check your toilets, sinks, or outside faucets.
Warmer Weather
Warmer weather means more showers, baths, and outside water usage
Water Softeners
Some water softeners use between 200 – 400 gallons each time they are set to regenerate. A water softener should regenerate approximately every other week for a family of four.
