Customer & Payment Services

The City of New Bern makes it easy for customers to pay their utility bill online, including services for water, sewer, and electric.  You can even receive your bill faster by signing up for e-billing, which delivers the bill to your email address instead of sending it in paper form.  So, go green and do both!
