City of San Angelo Announces Water Bill Sweepstakes

SAN ANGELO, TX – The City of San Angelo launched a sponsored sweepstakes on Wednesday for water utility customers who enroll or are already enrolled in paperless billing, AutoPay or online payments. Five winners will be chosen and each awarded a $100 Visa gift card. The sweepstakes will close April 18.

The sweepstakes is sponsored and funded by Invoice Cloud, a provider of secure e-payments serving local governments and utilities nationwide. The City of San Angelo began using the Invoice Cloud platform in January 2020 for online payments and pay-by-text options.

“San Angelo residents are able to easily and safely pay their utility bills online using a computer or mobile device,” said Water Utilities Director Allison Strube. “We hope the sweepstakes will offer an added incentive for customers to take advantage of the online payment services we offer.”

Online credit card payments or e-check/bank drafts payments can be made month-to-month or by establishing an automatically recurring payment. Customers also have the option to go paperless and sign up for “Pay by Text” to receive notifications and pay via text message.

“There are many benefits to paperless billing, from convenient access to bills anytime online, to email payment reminders and confirmations, to reducing paper clutter and waste,” said Bob Lapides, president of Invoice Cloud. “With COVID-19-related social distancing guidelines affecting trips and transactions, consumers are finding added convenience and safety through e-payments.”

Customers can enroll in paperless billing, register to pay online and enroll in AutoPay at cosatx.us/waterbill. Customers already enrolled in any of the aforementioned services will be automatically entered. The official rules of the sweepstakes are available at cosatx.us/customerservice.
