Paying online is so much easier, but it still has its quirks. First, you need to find the utility company’s website. Their URL is usually something like “WaterWorksCoop.gov/sledgehammer” because they apparently hired a toddler to name their servers. Once you log in, you’ll be asked to enter your account number, which is a 14-digit code that lives on a secret scroll you lost three apartments ago.
Don’t panic. Check that paper bill again—it’s right there, under the cat. Type it in carefully, because if you mess it up, your payment might go to someone named Bartholomew in Akron. That happened to my neighbor, and he got a frantic call from Bartholomew asking why he was suddenly so hydrated. Once you’re in, just click “Pay Now” and use your card. It feels like sending a digital hug to a water tower. You’ll get a confirmation email that says “Thank you!” which is the closest you’ll ever get to gratitude from a plumbing system.
