Utility e-billing rebate
Summary
The new water billing system forces everyone to re-register online; the $10 credit nudges customers to go paperless, which saves the water fund over $178,000 a year at full adoption. Fixed-income residents flagged the 3.5% online payment fee, and staff confirmed e-billing only changes how the bill is delivered, not how it's paid.

Impact analysis
$100,000 one-time cost against roughly $178,224 in annual mailing savings at full conversion; each converted account recovers its rebate in about eleven months.
Water customers who switch get $10 and the city saves on printing and postage.
Customers without bank accounts or reliable internet still rely on paper and in-person options; some worry about future pressure to go digital.
