Mayor Coleen J. Seng today announced that non-residential water and wastewater customers can now pay their Lincoln Water System bills through the City Web site at lincoln.ne.gov. Residential customers already have the e-pay option.

Customers receive a four-digit personal identification number (PIN) on their bills. Customers will need to use the PIN to pay the bill online, and a new PIN will be issued with each bill. A processing fee of $2 will be assessed. Customers also can use the Web site to check previous billings and water usage.

“This e-pay option is another effort to make doing business with the City easier and more efficient,” said Mayor Seng. “With e-pay services, citizens can save time, gas and postage, and they can use the service 24 hours a day.”

Other e-pay services available through lincoln.ne.gov are animal license renewals; payment of parking tickets and property taxes; criminal histories; and public parking reservations. All can be accessed from the home page by clicking “online services.”
