Utility Payment Options

City of Gastonia and Two Rivers Utilities customers have several options available for paying their monthly utility bill.

No Charge Payment Options
 
Automatic Bank Draft
Save time and money by participating in the City’s Automatic Bank Draft Program for your monthly utility bills.

No more writing a check each month, paying postage, or worrying about late fees or disconnection of your services. We will continue to send you a monthly utility bill showing your total current charges and the date this amount will be automatically drafted from your bank account, typically fourteen days from the date of the bill.

Participation is easy, and free. Enroll in automatic bank draft. The form is submitted securely to our Customer Service department.

Payment by Mail
Included with your monthly City of Gastonia utility bill is a blue window envelope that you can use to mail your payment. Please tear off the lower bill stub portion of your bill to include with your payment and make sure the return address shows through the window on the envelope. It is also helpful to include your account number on your check or money order. In the event that you have lost your blue return envelope or do not have your bill with the remittance address, please send payments to the following address:

 

City of Gastonia
PO Box 580068
Charlotte NC 28258-0068

 

24-Hour Dropbox Locations
For your convenience, 24-hour payment drop boxes are located behind the Garland Business Center on York Street, and also outside Cramerton Town Hall. Payments should be made by check or money order only.

• Please include the payment remittance portion of your bill.
• Please make sure the name, address and account number are noted on the check or money order.
Please note that there are earlier cut-off times posted at each of these locations for same-day processing of your payment.

Payment Kiosk

If you prefer to pay in cash, we have three (3) Automated Bill Payment Centers (Kiosks). These payment centers work very much like bank ATMs and can process payments made in cash. Customers must have their 8-digit City of Gastonia account number and address information to make a payment, or in some cases may access their account using the service location address and last 4 digits of their Social Security Number.
