(PSN). By implementing the latest technology, the city will provide several easy payment options for utility customers with no convenience fee. Customers participating in online billing will receive an email notification with a link to the PDF of their actual bill when it is ready for viewing. Bills can also now be viewed online which will save printing and mailing costs.<\/p>\n<p>In order to reduce costs and paper usage, utility customers are encouraged to opt out of receiving paper bills and use eBill which is a FREE service. This new online billing and payment service complements the city\u2019s efforts to be environmentally-conscious. If customers prefer paper bills, they can still pay electronically by paying online, via mobile app available mid-July, or by calling PSN. Another benefit is that current balances are posted daily so customers can see how much they owe by going online or using the new mobile app.<\/p>\n<p>Customers are now able to review their accounts and pay from the comfort of their homes, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, by selecting one of the following options:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Log on to\u00a0<a href=\\\"http:\/\/www.cityofwinterpark.org\/\\\">cityofwinterpark.org<\/a>\u00a0and click on \u201cpay your utility bill\u201d button.<\/li>\n<li>Download \u201cWP BillPay\u201d mobile app for Android, Windows or iPhone.<\/li>\n<li>Call the toll-free, automated phone service at 1.877.885.7968.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><em>(English and Spanish languages)<\/em><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Pay by eCheck, VISA, Mastercard or Discover.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><em>(customers can pay immediately, schedule a payment, or set up recurring payments)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Security of online information is a top concern of the city.
