Along with paying online, you can also pay by phone, by mail, or in-person at a payment center or automated EZ Pay Station.

If you cannot pay your utility bill in full, there are payment plans available. You may enter into a plan from the online payment portal, by using the automated phone system at 312.744.4426, or in person at any of the neighborhood payment centers or City Hall.
