Temporary Pause on Digital Submission of Pre‑Authorized Payment (PAP) Forms

As we transition to a new municipal website launching this summer, we have identified an issue in how our current system receives personal and banking information submitted for Pre‑Authorized Payments (PAP) for water, wastewater, and tax bills.
