Pay Your Utility Bill

  • Pay Online

    Pay your utility bill online with a Visa, Discover, MasterCard, or eCheck. At that site you can choose to make a one-time payment or register for an online account. The City of Lawrence uses Paymentus to process credit card payments online, as well as over the telephone. To pay with Visa, Discover or MasterCard by telephone call (877) 506-3115.

  • Payment Options

    Additional payment options including Auto Bill Pay, paying by mail, at drop box locations, or in person. These payment options are ONLY for Utility Bills. Payments for Miscellaneous City invoices cannot be processed through the same payment options.

  • Utility Bill Estimator

    Estimate your utility bill. This calculator is set up for residential customers to estimate their utility bill fees.

  • Low-Income Elderly Rate

    The City Commission passed an amendment to the City Ordinance that allows qualified elderly residents reduced water, sanitary sewer and sanitation charges. Get more information about the Low-Income Elderly Rate program.

  • Levelized Billing

    Under Levelized Billing, each monthly payment amount will be calculated using the rolling average of your utility bill for the most recent 12 months. For instance, this month’s payment amount would be the average bill amount of the previous 11 months, plus this month. Your payment amount would change only slightly from month to month. The 12-month rolling average guards against drastic fluctuations in your payment amount, even during high usage months. This plan is especially helpful for anyone who irrigates during the summer months. To be eligible for the budget billing, you must:

    • Have had service at your current location for at least 12 months.
    • Be current on your account (no past due balance).
    • Sign up for Auto Pay.
    There is no charge to be placed on Levelized billing, and you may return to regular payment plan at any time by notifying the office by phone or email. The amount of your Levelized plan will be noted on your monthly bill as “Total Amount Due”. Reconciliation payments will only be necessary if service at the location is discontinued or participation in the program is terminated. To sign up, please contact Utility Billing at utilitybilling@lawrenceks.org.
