Online and Electronic Pay Option for Water Bills Instituted
Launch the media gallery 1 playerThe United States Postal Service is non-existent for the village of New Athens. Village water bills that are mailed from and delivered to New Athens is sent to the worst postal hub in the United States (North County St Louis). After the New Athens mail lays in the unorganized hub, for weeks, it is finally delivered back to the community where it originated, New Athens. There have been instances where our water bills were delivered to Waterloo. Return mail receipts for registered mail come back to us unsigned.
THE VILLAGE IS NOT CHARGING LATE PAY PENALTIES IN THE MONTH OF MARCH ONLY FOR FEBRUARY MAILED WATER BILLS
As a result of a terminated mail service, we have instituted the Illinois Treasurer’s ePay system. Following is the directions on how to use the system:
Go to the village website address newathensil.com, on the second top dark green banner, right hand side left click on left click on Bill ePay
On the right-hand side of the screen that appears entitled Login, at the bottom left click the Create an Account bar. On the screen that appears complete the Account and Billing Information, payment method, and notification preference. Please note you can pay by credit card or electronic check; you can save fees by paying by electronic check. Check the box that you agree with the terms of service and click the green bar Create an Account.
If you want to see how much you owe, following is the instructions:
Go to bill ePay and log in
Left click on Make Payment (left hand side below heading)
Left click on payment category and chose Utility Bill
Enter your Account Number (no spaces)
Left click on search bar and your amount due will be at the bottom of the information that appears
The ePay method of paying is optional, you can continue to rely upon the US mail service, pay at the village hall counter or in the outside drop box.
