Payment Options
The City of Georgetown offers a variety of convenient payment options for our residents. Simply choose the option that best suits your needs.
If you are paying your water bill after 4:30 on the LAST Business day before shut off, you will need to add the $40 to your bill to avoid your water being shut off. If you do not pay the entire amount + the $40 fee your water will be shut off.
In Person
Feel free to use the drive up windon on the West side of the City Hall building, to pay with cash, check, or money order. Our hours are Monday - Friday, 8:30 - 4:30 pm.
Online Bill Payment
From our Residents page, choose payment options, and click the green "Pay Your Bill Now" button. The City of Georgetown offers online bill pay through a service called Allpaid. Credit, debit, and prepaid cards are accepted. Allpaid charges a convenience fee based on the amount of your bill. They also offer the convenience of calling in your payment to 1-888-604-7888. The convenience fee is substantially higher than paying online.
