Residents are responsible to track their monthly water usage. If your water usage appears to be high, it is the responsibility of the resident to contact Fruit Heights City. The city will read the meter again to see if there are any errors or if there appears to be a leak. It is the residents responsibility to repair any leaks in the water line beyond the water meter.


Q: How do I set up an online account to view and pay my water bill?

Fruit Heights City utilizes paperless billing. This means, if you have an Internet connection, an email address, and a city account number, you can view current and past monthly statements online at Xpress Bill Pay. Once the account is established on Xpress Bill Pay, select the paperless billing option. Those who do not opt out of paper billing or wish to continue receiving paper statements will receive a monthly fee of $2.00 on their bill for the pass-through cost of printing and mailing the bill.


While on Xpress Bill Pay, we encourage you to setup automatic payments using a credit or debit card, or a checking or savings account. A drop box is located at the south end of the City Office parking lot, 910 S. Mountain Road. Payments are due and payable upon receipt of the bill and are received without a late charge on or before the 25th of each month. If the 25th falls on a weekend or a holiday, the payment may still be deposited in the utility drop box.
