Demopolis Water Works and Sewer Board is now accepting payments online.

Customers of the water department will now be able to pay online through an e-check or credit card at http://www.demopolisal.gov/utilities.html.

Manager David Zapparo said the new system will be good for the department and for customers.

“People will be able to pay with a credit card, where they couldn��t before,” he said. “It will make it easier for us and for some of our customers.”

There will be a service fee associated with the new online system to those who utilize it. For e-checks, there will be a $1 service fee, and for credit cards, the fee will be $2.45.

To make the payments online, customers will use their account number on the website, and on this month’s bill, there is a unique password that customers will enter. After entering the password, customers will be prompted on how to continue.
