Mount Prospect offers direct debit payment option

Mount Prospect is now offering a new payment option for water/sewer and refuse utility bills.

You may now opt to pay through direct debit of your checking or savings account.

The funds will be withdrawn on the due date, avoiding late fees.

If you choose to take advantage of the direct debit program, it is still necessary to provide a water meter reading.

You may submit the reading through the village Web site at www.mountprospect.org, submit the reading via your bill stub or submit the reading verbally by calling (847) 392-6000.

There is no fee associated with this program.

If you have any questions concerning this program, contact utility billing at (847) 392-6000.

Oops … forget something? Prospect Heights vehicle stickers should've been purchased and displayed by Monday. Fees for all stickers at least doubled on Tuesday.

Stickers may be purchased 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at city hall, 14 E. Camp McDonald Road, lower level, on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

The cost for passenger vehicles is now $60, for seniors it's now $25 and for small trucks it's $80.

Payment can be made by cash or check. Credit and debit cards are not accepted, village officials said.

If you are unable to come in person to purchase your vehicle sticker, you may view and print the vehicle sticker application form by going to page http://prospect-heights.il.us/pdfs/application_vehicle.pdf and print, complete and mail the form along with your payment to: City of Prospect Heights, ATTN: Vehicle Stickers, 14 E Camp McDonald Road, Suite Lower Level, Prospect Heights, IL 60070.

Should you have any questions, call (847) 398-6070, ext. 200.
