1
Open the official Town payment portal
Use only the Town-linked Municipal Online Payments page.
▾
Go to the official Town of Hillsborough water and sewer payment portal. Choose Quick Pay if you only need to pay, or sign in/register if you want account tools.
2
Use the account number exactly as shown
Wrong format can delay or block account lookup.
▾
The Quick Pay page asks for your account number. If your bill shows dashes or a specific customer/account format, enter it the same way. For bank bill pay, use the account or customer number in the format shown on your bill.
3
Save proof after payment
Keep proof until your account balance updates.
▾
Save the confirmation number, paid amount, payment date, account number, and screenshot or receipt. This is important if you pay close to the due date or need to prove payment later.
Hillsborough Water Bill Due Date, Late Rule and Disconnection Risk
Hillsborough water and sewer usage is billed monthly. The Town says bills should arrive by mail during the first week of the month, and current charges are due on the 25th day of each month.
Monthly billing
Water and sewer usage is billed monthly, so customers should review each bill instead of assuming every month is the same.
Due date
Current charges are due on the 25th day of each month. If the 25th falls on a weekend or holiday, payment is due the following business day.
Late after 11:59 p.m.
Payments received after 11:59 p.m. on the due date are considered late.
| Situation | What It Means | Safer Action |
|---|---|---|
| Bill arrives first week | You usually have time to review usage, charges and due date. | Check the bill immediately instead of waiting until the 25th. |
| Payment is due on the 25th | This is the normal due date for current charges. | Pay a few days early if using bank bill pay or mail. |
| Due date falls on weekend/holiday | Payment is due the following business day. | Still pay early to avoid bank, mail, or system delays. |
| Prior month remains unpaid | Service can be disconnected one month after payment has not been received. | Call customer service before the account reaches disconnection stage. |
How Hillsborough Bank Draft and Automatic Payments Work
Automatic payment can reduce missed due dates, but the setup method matters. The Town offers bank draft from your bank account and online account features that can help customers manage electronic payments.
Bank draft date options
The Town can automatically draft payment from your bank account on the 10th or 25th day of each month.
Enrollment requirement
Submit the bank draft form with a voided check by mail, in person, or by deposit box.
Do not stop paying too early
Enrollment takes at least one billing cycle. Keep paying by other methods until the bill states, “Do not pay. Paid by draft.”
Registered portal benefits
Registered portal users can view details, manage accounts, use multi-bill pay, and enroll in e-Billing.
What to Do If Your Hillsborough Water Bill Looks Too High
A sudden high water bill can happen because of a leak, irrigation issue, running toilet, service-line break, meter reading issue, or changed household use. The Town allows leak adjustment requests in specific situations, but documentation and timing matter.
Call customer service first
Call 919-296-9450 for assistance before assuming the bill is wrong. Ask what readings, forms, or repair proof are needed.
Leak adjustment documentation
The Town says customers may need documentation from a plumber or maintenance person, or receipts for repair items purchased.
Two-month request window
Leak adjustments must be requested no later than two months after the billing date for the adjustment.
One adjustment per 12 months
Customers are allowed one leak adjustment in a 12-month period.
1
Compare the current bill with past usage
Registered portal users can review account details and bill history.
▾
Look at usage, not only the dollar amount. A large usage jump may point to a leak, toilet issue, irrigation problem, or water line break.
2
Check common leak points before filing
Simple leaks can create expensive monthly bills.
▾
Check toilets, outdoor spigots, irrigation zones, water heater relief valve, washer lines, crawlspace pipes, and damp spots near the service line. If repaired, keep receipts and repair dates.
3
Request adjustment within the allowed window
Do not wait several billing cycles.
▾
If a water line break caused significantly higher charges, request the leak adjustment no later than two months after the billing date. Keep plumber notes, receipts, and photos if available.
Starting or Stopping Hillsborough Water and Sewer Billing Service
The Town’s Financial Services Department handles billing and collections for water and sewer service, including meter reading, starting and stopping service, and monthly payment collection.
Starting service
Use the online portal’s connect service option or contact customer service if you need help setting up a new account.
Stopping service
Make sure your final bill mailing address is correct. Do not assume service stops automatically when you move.
Moving within service area
Ask customer service how to transfer billing and whether there are any open balances on the old account.
Update customer information
Update billing address, email address and telephone number when anything changes, so notices and bills are not missed.

Useful Video Availability for This Topic
I did not embed a YouTube video because I did not find a strong official Town of Hillsborough video specifically explaining 2026 water bill customer service phone, office hours, payment, due-date, bank draft and leak-adjustment steps. For this topic, official Town payment pages, billing rules, phone numbers, map and step-by-step instructions are more reliable.
Hillsborough Water Bill Tips That Prevent Late Payments, Posting Confusion and Weak Leak Claims
These practical tips are written for real customers who want to avoid missed due dates, wrong-account payments, avoidable late status, and incomplete leak-adjustment requests.
Register if you manage the account monthly
Quick Pay is fine for one payment, but registration gives stronger tools such as account details, multi-bill pay and e-Billing.
Do not rely on bank bill pay at the last minute
Bank-originated bill pay can involve setup delays or paper checks. Use direct portal or phone payment when time is short.
Keep repair proof for high bills
If a leak caused the bill, save plumber documentation, receipts, repair dates and photos. A leak adjustment request is stronger with proof.
Update contact details before moving
Wrong email, phone or mailing address can make you miss final bills, notices, service updates or billing questions from the Town.
