Lakeshore Utility Company offers a wide variety of convenient payment options for our customers. Simply choose the option that best suits your needs.
Automatic Bank Draft
The worry-free way to pay your water bill. With this service, the amount of your monthly bill is automatically deducted from your bank account and credited to your utility account. A bill is still mailed to you monthly saying “Paid by ACH Draft do not Pay”. There is no set-up fee or charge associated with this method of payment. To set up Automated Bank Draft, simply download and fill out the ACH Authorization Form located in the Forms Page and drop it off or mail it to our office, along with a voided check.
