Village launches new tools to improve communication and bill payment

MILLERTON — The Village of Millerton announced two initiatives aimed at improving communication and simplifying utility bill payments for residents.

At a Village Board meeting on June 10, trustees approved a two-year contract with the SMS-based tool TextMyGov, which is now active. The two-way communication system enables the village to send text alerts during emergencies or for timely announcements and allows residents to report issues such as water leaks, potholes, stray animals or code violations. Residents are encouraged to save the village’s texting number, 518-672-6100, and use keywords to stay informed and engaged.

In addition, the village has partnered with Xpress Bill Pay to offer an online utility payment option. Residents can view their bills, make payments via credit or debit card or electronic funds transfer and access their billing history. Quarterly email reminders will notify users when bills are ready. According to a user manual created by the village, it is free to sign up for Xpress Bill Pay service, but some billing organizations charge a transaction convenience fee.
