How to Pay a City of St. George Utility Bill

The City’s April 2026 payment guide lists six practical routes: online, phone, mail, bank drop-off, City Hall payment and the 24-hour City Hall drop box.

Online Paymentus

Pay once without logging in, or register for full portal access.

Phone 435-627-4700, option 2

The City’s 2026 payment flyer identifies option 2 as its phone-payment route.

Mail P.O. Box 1750, St. George, UT 84771-1750

Allow enough mailing time for the payment to reach the City before your due date.

City Hall 61 S. Main St.

Pay in person during normal office hours. This is also the correct route when a shutoff account cannot use a bank drop-off.

Bank drop-off Participating local bank branches

The City’s 2026 flyer lists Cache Valley Bank and State Bank of Southern Utah. Allow two business days for processing.

24-hour drop box Behind City Hall

The drop box is east of City Hall with access from Main Street.

Official St. George Paymentus Portal
After opening the Paymentus portal
  1. Choose Make One Time Payment if you only need to pay, or choose Login if you have a registered portal account.
  2. Use your City utility account information exactly as shown on the bill.
  3. If the payment screen asks for the house number, use only the street number from the service address.
  4. Confirm the payment amount and payment method before submitting.
  5. Save the Paymentus confirmation number until the payment posts to the utility account.
St. George online-payment detail that matters: the City’s current FAQ says the account number should be entered exactly as printed, including dashes. For a service address such as 123 Main St., Unit 205, the online-payment house number is simply 123.
Paymentus says payments submitted before midnight are posted to the utility account the next day. Payments made after midnight can take up to 48 hours. Keep the confirmation number if the account is close to a shutoff date.

Bank Drop-Off Rules

St. George’s April 2026 payment notice says utility payments can be made at local Cache Valley Bank and State Bank of Southern Utah branches without being a bank member. The customer needs the payment coupon or utility account number.

The City says to allow two business days for bank processing. If the account is already on shutoff, use the City website or City Hall instead.

Saint George Utilities Login and Paymentus Account

St. George uses Paymentus for online utility account payments. The portal provides separate options for a one-time payment, customer login, new registration and password recovery.

No account login needed Make One Time Payment

Use this route when you have the utility account information but do not need portal account-management features.

Registered customer Login with email and password

Paymentus also provides Register Now and Forgot Password options on the same official portal.

Open St. George Customer Portal
After opening the customer portal
  1. Select Login if you already registered or Register Now if this is your first portal account.
  2. Use the email address associated with your Paymentus profile.
  3. Use Forgot Password instead of creating another profile when a saved password no longer works.
  4. Verify that the account details match the correct St. George service address before paying.
  5. Save the confirmation number after every payment.

St. George Utilities Phone Numbers

Billing questions and utility emergencies use different numbers. Calling the right department first can save time.

Utility Customer Service 435-627-4700

Billing, payments, residential applications, deposits, account changes and service questions.

Power / water emergency 435-627-4835

Energy Services publishes this as its 24-hour dispatch number for maintenance and repairs.

Energy Services 435-627-4800

Energy Services administrative contact; the department is located at 811 E. Red Hills Parkway.

Utilities fax 435-627-4734

Use only when the City specifically asks for a faxed utility document.

Calling about a bill? Have the account number, service address, due date and any Paymentus confirmation number ready. That is more useful than describing the account only by the customer’s name.

Start St. George Utility Service

The residential application is available online at any time, but St. George says applications are processed during regular business hours and customers should normally allow at least three business days for service connection.

  • Service address and unit number, if applicable
  • Mailing address and contact information
  • Driver’s license information and copy
  • Social Security number requested on the application
  • Requested connection date
  • Landlord information if renting or leasing
Renter deposit $125 security deposit

Required when the applicant is not the legal owner of the property.

Utilities currently off $25 per meter

The residential application lists a $25 connection fee per water and/or electric meter.

Utilities already on $10 per meter

St. George calls this a Read & Change Fee when the service remains on and the account responsibility changes.

Need service faster? The normal online application does not promise same-day connection. The City’s current FAQ says same-day connections are assessed a $50 same-day fee before 4:00 p.m. and should be arranged through Customer Service. It also lists a $98 after-hours Electric/Water connection fee.
Wednesday scheduling detail: the current residential application says Wednesdays are not available for normal service requests because of the high volume of disconnect notices. Plan a move-in request several business days ahead.
Official Residential Utility Application
After opening the residential application
  1. Enter the new service address and the applicant’s contact information.
  2. Upload the driver’s-license file requested by the City and complete the identification fields.
  3. Choose whether you own or rent the property; renters should expect the $125 deposit requirement.
  4. Select the requested connection date and review the connection or Read & Change fee language.
  5. Review all entered information before submitting because the City says the form cannot be edited after submission.
  6. Do not consider the request submitted unless you receive both the confirmation number and confirmation email.

What Happens to a Residential Deposit?

The City’s current FAQ says a residential renter’s $125 deposit is refundable after three years of timely payment history. The City pays 2% annual interest on the deposit.

When moving within St. George, the deposit may be transferred to the new residence. At final disconnection, it can instead be applied to the closing bill, with any remaining balance handled by the City.

Stopping Service

St. George asks for at least two business days’ advance notice when disconnecting service. You need the account number, customer name, service address, requested disconnect date, forwarding address and phone number.

Official St. George Utility Disconnect Form
After opening the disconnect form
  1. Enter the utility account number and account name.
  2. Provide the exact address where service should be disconnected.
  3. Select the requested disconnect date, allowing two to three business days for processing.
  4. Provide a daytime phone number and email address.
  5. Add the forwarding address where the final bill or any deposit refund should be sent.
  6. Submit the form and keep the confirmation email for your records.

Late St. George Utility Bill and Shutoff Rules

The City’s current residential service agreement says utility charges are due according to the date printed on the bill. A delinquent account is subject to a 5% monthly late charge on the unpaid balance.

St. George may also assess a processing charge when a shutoff notice is issued. If service is terminated for nonpayment, the application says all delinquent charges must be brought current and a reconnection fee also applies.

If the account is already scheduled for shutoff: St. George’s current FAQ says the City will not accept a check for that delinquent payment. It directs customers to pay by credit card online, or by cash or credit card in person at the Utilities Office.
Official St. George Utility FAQs
After opening the utility FAQ page
  1. Use the page search to find the payment-procedure or utility-service question relevant to your account.
  2. Check the current shutoff-payment rule before using a check or slow payment method.
  3. If you already paid online, keep the confirmation number available.
  4. Call 435-627-4700 when reconnection timing or account status is unclear.

Average Monthly Payment Plan for St. George Utilities

St. George offers an Average Monthly Payment, or AMP, program for residential customers who want to smooth seasonal utility costs rather than pay large summer and winter swings.

Eligibility 12 months at the same address

The utility account must have been in the customer’s name at that service address for at least 12 months.

Before enrollment Zero balance + AutoPay

The account must have a zero balance, and AutoPay must be set in Paymentus to pay the bill amount on the due date.

The City recalculates the AMP amount each month using current charges plus the prior 11 months of actual charges, while also accounting for approximately one-twelfth of any overage or shortage.

Official Average Monthly Payment Application
After opening the AMP application
  1. Confirm that you are a residential St. George utility customer.
  2. Verify that the account has 12 months of history at the same address and currently has a zero balance.
  3. Set Paymentus AutoPay to pay the bill amount on the due date.
  4. Submit the AMP form at least one week before the next billing date if you want it considered for the next bill.
  5. Continue reviewing actual charges because AMP changes payment timing, not your responsibility for the full utility cost.

St. George Power Outage and Utility Emergency Help

St. George Energy Services says it provides 24-hour dispatch for maintenance and repairs to existing customers. For a power or water utility emergency, call 435-627-4835.

Utility emergency 24-hour dispatch

Call 435-627-4835 for power and water emergency routing.

Non-emergency issue City issue/outage form

Use the City’s reporting page for appropriate non-emergency utility and public-service issues.

Official St. George Issue & Outage Page
After opening the issue/outage page
  1. Choose the issue type that matches the utility problem.
  2. Provide the exact service address or location.
  3. Include enough detail for City staff to identify the problem.
  4. For an active power or water emergency, call 435-627-4835 rather than waiting on a routine online submission.
St. George Energy Services is a municipal electric utility, but electric-provider boundaries can differ around the broader St. George area. If a new address does not show City electric service, verify the provider instead of assuming every St. George mailing address uses the City’s electric system.

What the Extra Charges on a St. George Utility Bill Mean

A St. George bill can look more complicated than a stand-alone electric or water bill because several City and regional services may appear together.

Electric KWH charge + base charge

The energy-use portion reflects kilowatt-hours consumed. The City also bills a residential electric customer charge for fixed utility costs.

Energy tax 6% on electricity

The City’s current utility FAQ identifies a 6% energy tax on electricity.

Drainage Stormwater-system funding

The current utility-rate page lists an $8 monthly customer base charge per equivalent residential unit.

Flood control Regional project funding

The City collects this fee and remits it for regional drainage and river-restoration projects.

WCWCD surcharge Regional water infrastructure

This is separate from City water usage and helps fund Washington County Water Conservancy District facilities.

Garbage / recycling County-managed residential service

Washington County Solid Waste District manages residential garbage and BluCan recycling while the City collects and remits the associated charges.

Why Water Usage Can Trigger an Extra Surcharge

The City’s rate page says the WCWCD Excess Water Use Surcharge applies when water use exceeds an assigned demand threshold. For a typical existing residential 3/4-inch meter, the page lists a monthly threshold of 36,000 gallons.

Residential connections made after January 1, 2023 can have lower rolling monthly thresholds that vary by season, from roughly 8,000 gallons in winter to 20,000 gallons in summer depending on the connection and water-service configuration.

If a water bill jumps unexpectedly, compare the gallons used with the account’s threshold before assuming the entire increase came from a City water-rate change.
Official St. George Utility Rates
After opening the utility-rate page
  1. Select the service you need: power, water, wastewater, drainage, garbage/recycling or WCWCD charges.
  2. For electricity, verify whether the account is standard residential or another rate class.
  3. For water, identify your meter size and review the applicable usage tiers.
  4. Check WCWCD threshold information separately from the normal City water charge.
  5. Use the current online table rather than relying on an older bill when estimating future charges.
