Year: 2021

The Town of Sellersburg Utility Billing Office has a new online payment vendor to improve ease of use and online security for our customers.

The first time you use the system, you will need the account number from your bill to set your login.

Use this link to set up your online login: https://www.utilitybillingsystem.net/ConsumerRegistration.aspx?CompanyID=4bbdba90-ffb8-41e8-878f-f24808d4b725

Once completed, you will find more in-depth information about your usage as well as online payment options that including online auto-pay.

*If you are already set up with auto-pay bank draft through our billing office, you do not need to re-establish that service and there is no charge for continued use.

In addition, we also now have an automated over-the-phone payment option. To use this service, call (888)537-0127

There is a fee the vendor charges for processing online payments. For debit/credit card amounts under $200 is $2.50. For amounts over $200, it is 2.75% of the total. For e-checks used in autopay through the online system, there is a $2.35 processing fee.

To avoid these online vendor processing fees, payments can be made by check via drive-thru drop box at the billing office, by US Mail, or by using your financial institution’s bill-pay option. There is also no charge to come into the billing office for auto-draft using a voided check.

If you have questions related to this update, please do not hesitate to contact the Utility Billing Office at (812)246-3821 opt 1.

Thank you for your understanding as we continue to work hard to improve our service to you!

On behalf of Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb, Indiana State Senator of District 45 Chris Garten presented Chief Whelan with the Distinguished Hoosier Award for his lifetime of dedicated police service and for leading the Indiana Association of Chiefs of Police in 2021.

In attendance was the Town Council, Town Manager, members of the Town of Sellersburg Police Department, the CEO of the IACP, and several police chiefs from neighboring departments including Jeffersonville and Clarksville.

The Town Council will be introducing an updated Storm Water Ordinance at the upcoming Council Meeting.

This new ordinance will include updated technical standards for residents and developers to follow. Once in place, these updates will begin to have immediate and long term impacts on the local watersheds by requiring more comprehensive storm water control plans for new developments.

The Town’s version of this new storm water controls is similar to a version Jeffersonville currently considering and Clark County has expressed interest in.

“Creeks and ditches don’t know where a municipal boarder is…” said Town Manager Charlie Smith. “This new storm water control ordinance is the first step in making real improvements in Sellersburg as well as throughout the shared watersheds within the county. I want to thank Clark County and the City of Jeffersonville for coming together to consider shared standards that will benefit residents across our communities…”
