I still write 2 cheques a year because my water bill can only be paid via physical mail (or in person I guess), I’m pretty sure fax is still common in our medical industry.
somewhat common but dropping.
What is it with water departments being such Luddites?! Having lived in a few different cities in a few different states, they always seem to be the one utility that’s the biggest pain in the ass to work with. Gotta go down to their city office to start service - make sure to bring a voided check if you want to set up an auto draft to pay the bill because they don’t take cards. Online account management? Nah, the closest they have to an online presence is their About page on the city website.
WHY?!
Do you want to pay more just to get all that up and running though?
Utility prices keep going up, regardless. I’d rather they use the money for something useful.
I'd use Bank of America bill pay or something similar, they will print and mail your check.
I use a check for Rumpke for the same reason, but my checkbook is still useful for when a co-worker brings in their kid's fundraiser and i can quickly write ine out
