Simply detach the top portion of the bill and insert it in the envelope provided and keep the bottom portion for your records. If you are paying at Florence Utilities or one of our many participating banks, please bring the entire bill with you. We have also included telephone numbers on the front side of the bill as a handy reference should you need to contact us.

On the backside of the bill there is a space for you to provide us your telephone number. This is important in order to provide you with efficient service in the future. If you need to change your address or phone number please call (256) 760-6512.
