How to Use Direct Debit

With the direct debit – Automatic Funds Transfer (AFT) payment option, you can now pay your utility bill each month by automatic deduction from your checking or savings account. In addition, there will be NO additional cost for participating in this service.

Overview

Note: This is only for customers of the City of Coral Springs Water District, which runs from Wiles Road, south to the south side of Royal Palm Boulevard, north of Wiles Road from Riverside Drive east to 441.

The Process

Our goal in the City of Coral Springs is to make the signing up and maintaining of our AFT program as simple as possible.

  • You will still get a monthly bill. The city will send you your monthly bill, as always, showing the usual billing information, as well as the amount of the payment that will be automatically deducted from your checking or savings account on the due date that is printed on your bill.

  • You only need to remember to subtract the amounts of the water utility bill from your checkbook balance on the payment due date specified on the bill. The withdrawal from your bank account will appear on your next available bank statement.
