Automatic Bank Drafting
You can choose to have your utility bill drafted directly from your bank account each month on your due date.
If you choose this option, you are still sent a utility bill each month, but you do not have to mail in a payment.
Your bank account will be drafted on the due date printed on your utility bill. To sign up for this program we will
need you to complete an authorization form and provide a voided check from the account you would like drafted each month.
Just stop by our office or follow this link to print the authorization. Bank draft

Average Billing
After you have twelve bills issued you can choose to sign-up for the City’s Average Billing Program. This programs helps
reduce the peaks and valley in your utility bills. This program is an average billing program that recalculates your average
each month. By recalculating your average each month we eliminate the annual settle-up that normally takes place each year with
many levelized billing programs.
To sign-up for this program, just stop by the office or follow this link to print the authorization
form.

This information is on your utility bill or you may contact us for the information if you have misplaced your bill.

eNotification
Separate from the eGov for Utilities website, you can sign up for a electronic notification that your bill is ready.
With eNotification, you can elect to continue to receive a paper bill in addition to the notification or you can go paperless.
To sign-up, just call or email
egovutility@bentonvillear.com. This system provides only basic
information, such as the amount due and when your due date is. More detailed information is available via the eGov for
Utilities website. The reason the eNotification is kept very basic is to protect your privacy.
Billing Cycles and Trash Collection Days
Billing cycles and trash collection days are available on the City GIS website at

Meter Reading
You can help us accurately bill your account by ensuring we have access to your meters. Please trim any bushes and do not pile
anything on top of your water meter or in front of your electric meter. If you would like to keep your fence gate locked,
please contact our office to arrange to drop off a key.
Payments
The City receives thousands of payments every month. To ensure your payment is promptly credited please return your payment
coupon and do not fold, staple or paperclip your payment(s). All checks and money orders should be made payable to the
“City of Bentonville.” Cash payments should only be made in person, do not mail or put cash in the drop-box. If you use your
bank’s online bill pay, please review the terms and conditions of service and ensure you are scheduling your payment early enough
for it to be delivered to the City.
