De Soto Water Customers

We are sorry to say that we will no longer be accepting pennies as payment for water bills.

Water bills were mailed out on Wednesday, February 25, 2026.
They will be due March 15, 2026 with a cutoff day of March 24th @ 10:00 a.m.
We have gone to a new water billing system called LOCIS.
You can now sign up to get your water bill emailed to you. You don't have to wait.
Just give us a call and we will put it into your file.
Every customer has a new account number.
I know that might be frustrating when you pay your bill through Court Money,
but if you have your new account number you can actually see what you owe in Court Money.
You don't have to call us for an amount due.
There will be more benefits as we learn the new system.
Have a blessed day!!
