ELECTRONIC CHECK INFORMATION - IMPORTANT UPDATE

If you are using your personal online banking for payments of water/sewer bills and/or taxes, be aware that we will be changing our lockbox address for payment.  While the old information will still be correct, the new format should speed receipt of payment.  Since your bank will not be using the pre-printed envelope when mailing a check to us, we ask that you enter the new information into your banking website.  If your bank runs a program and changes the unique ZIP code, you will still be responsible for interest charges on any delayed payments.

The new addresses are:

WEST BLOOMFIELD TAX COLLECTION

P O BOX 671050

DETROIT MI 48267-1050

 

WEST BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP WATER

P O BOX 671922

DETROIT MI 48267-1922
