City of Big Spring offers new payment kiosk 24/7
The City of Big Spring sent out a press release Tuesday afternoon, announcing a new way to pay utility bill payments. In addition to the notices sent out to the community, the new kiosk was discussed at the City Council Meeting on Tuesday evening by City Manager Todd Darden.
“Beginning in August 2020, the City of Big Spring will offer our residents the ability to pay bills in person using a new self-service kiosk for utility bill and Municipal Court payments. The kiosk is located at the Water Billing Office located at 305 South Johnson Street,” the media release stated.
According to the press release and information provided at the City Council meeting, the intent of the kiosk is to increase payment choice while reducing risks for City employees and residents.
“Before COVID-19 stay-at-home measures, many of our residents paid water bills in person via cashier each month. By making in-person payments contact less, the City is providing a safe and affordable alternative for residents, particularly those who pay bills in person using cash,” the release stated.
Big Spring residents will be able to use the kiosk 24/7 and pay their bills using cash, card, or check without any added service fees.
The new kiosk will enable customers to look up their account information and make payments toward their City water bill or Municipal Court fees using cash, check, or credit and debit cards. Customers will have the option to print their receipt, or have it sent via e-mail or SMS text. All kiosk functionality will be available in English and Spanish.
