Payment research for this provider
The compiled notes distinguish confirmed channels from details the public material did not expose. Fields containing only an unavailable-information marker are grouped in the research record below.
- Payment platform
- WaterSmart by VertexOne; the City states utility bill payments are processed through Paymentus
- Mail-in payment address
- City of Sterling Heights Water & Sewer Billing, 40555 Utica Road, Sterling Heights, MI 48313. The current public rate sheet does not print a separate remittance P.O. Box, so customers should use the address and coupon instructions on the current statement.
- In-person payment
- Water and sewer billing is handled through City financial services at City Hall, 40555 Utica Road, Sterling Heights, MI 48313. The City maintains a secure payment drop box in the circular drive near the Utica Road entrance and additional drop boxes near City Hall entrances; do not place cash in a drop box. The public pages reviewed do not state a staffed counter schedule, so customers should confirm current desk hours with Water & Sewer Billing at (586) 446-2320.
- Digital payment methods
- The official pages confirm online water-bill payment through WaterSmart and Paymentus, with electronic billing and automatic-payment features. The current pages do not enumerate every card brand or ACH rule; customers should follow the instruments displayed in the live WaterSmart/Paymentus checkout.
