Utility FAQ
Videos to help with using the Utility Billing website have been added to the right hand side of this page under the heading "Utility Billing Instructional Videos".
Why am I getting two bills?
The bills are being consolidated by the Service Address and Account information. It is possible that your household could still be receiving two bills instead of one, due to your account information not matching. This can be fixed by making sure your accounts have the same information.
What’s with all the colors?
The bill was redesigned to allow colors to represent a service throughout the bill.
- Blue: Represents information related to your potable water usage and charges.
- Yellow: Represents information related to your sewer usage and charges.
- Green: Represents information related to your environmental services charges (Recycling and Trash Pickup).
- Grey: Represents information related to your miscellaneous and reclaimed water usage and charges.
- Red: Represents important dates and reminders of any potential past due balances.
Why am I being charged a convenience fee?
The processing of credit cards incurs fees, which are charged by the banks, credit card processors and the credit card companies themselves. There are two ways in which these fees can be paid, either through increasing the overall rates to cover the charges or to pass on the transactional fee costs to the customers who chose to pay with fees. With the City needing to adjust the rates last year, it was decided that these fees should be passed on to the customer instead of including them into the rates.
I’m having issues using my Account Number on the new site.
The new site is utilizing the “Web ID” from the old bills, for the account number on the new bills. This was to make it easier to utilize and to minimize issues. The new bill references this number as the account number moving forward.
How to create an account?
- From the website https://groveland.billingdoc.net/login, click “Create An Account”. The next screen will ask you for your name, email address and prompt you to create a password.
- When you log-in after creating your account, it will ask you for your confirmation code. This code was emailed to you. This may take a few minutes, please check your Junk folder if you did not receive one.
- Once confirmed, you will be able to add in your account numbers. Please use the account number from the new bill, or “Web ID” from the old bill and part of your name.
- Once you hit “Submit,” your account will be added to the profile.
Why is there no History?
The new system creates the history as it happens after your account is created. New bills will be provided to the portal and the payment history will be updated as well. With each passing month, the information will be retained for your reference.
