The City of Salina’s Water Department office will be closed at noon on Friday, June 7, for a billing system switchover. It will also be closed on Monday, June 10 and Tuesday, June 11, and will reopen on Wednesday, June 12, at 8 a.m. with the new, upgraded billing system. During this time, no water bill payments will be accepted by phone, online or in person.
“Water customers can expect changes that make their bill easier to read and provide more user-friendly options,” said Susan Watt, Water Customer Accounting Supervisor for the City of Salina.
The new water billing system will offer several new features for a better customer experience. A new bill style will include all current information plus more in a new, clean-cut format. The new system will also offer text alerts for interested customers and a portal to track water usage.
The account number format will change from 12345-6789 to 123456789. Customers currently enrolled in autopay will need to re-register. A video highlighting the upcoming changes is available on YouTube at https://youtu.be/EbXawlTi6Xk.
Water bill payments can be made in several ways:
- In-person in Room 102 of the City-County Building, 300 West Ash Street
- By mail at P.O. Box 1307, Salina, KS 67402; - Via the drop box on the south side of the City-County Building
- By phone at 785-309-5740;
- Online at salina-ks.gov/water-department Customers may also start, move and stop water service using the appropriate form, which is also available at salina-ks.gov/water-department.
