Ways to pay

Pay my bill online

Online payments go through KanPay, the State of Kansas payment site, which adds a 2.5% convenience fee. You can also sign up for automatic bank draft for $1.00 per meter per month, or mail a check to PO Box 561, Chanute, KS 66720.

On every bill

Bills are due by the 15th. A balance not paid by the 15th gets a 20% late charge.

New service

A new water hookup (benefit unit) is $3,000. The application goes to the district's engineer and board for approval. If the request is not approved, the payment is refunded less a $100 engineering fee. Call the office at (620) 288-9044 to apply.

If service is shut off

To turn water back on after a shut-off for an unpaid bill, the past-due balance and late charges must be paid, plus a $250.00 reconnection fee.
