8. How do I pay my bill at the Kiosks located at City Hall?: You will need your customer number (including the dash) and service address (numbers only) from your bill, or you can request the customer number from the Customer Service Representative.

9. Why am I receiving an error message when selecting “Forgot Password”?: If you have not registered your account on the new online portal, the system will show an error message after you enter your email address and answer the security questions. You will need to register your account, and in the event you forget your password, you will use the "forgot password" feature.

10. Why can’t I see my account online after completing the online portal registration?: Please make sure to add your customer number to your enrolled profile. If you log in using your email address and password but do not see your account name or account balances, you will need to enter your customer number (including the dash) and provide your service address (numbers only).

11. Can I register multiple customer numbers under one profile?: Yes, you can.

12. Why haven’t I received a payment confirmation?: Please verify your email address is active and accurate.

13. Why can’t I see my bill history through the online portal?: The bill history before June 2, 2025, will be unavailable through the online portal, as we transition to a new online portal. To request your bill history, please submit a request by emailing utbilling@hesperiaca.gov

14. I am enrolled in autopay, but my payment has not yet been deducted from my bank account.: If your account was not registered through the new online portal and was instead enrolled through the previous portal, your payment will not be deducted from your bank account, as bank account information is not available for payment processing.

15. Is it required that I enroll in Secure PDF or Ebill?: These features are optional and not required.

16. What is Secure PDF?: Secure PDF, also known as "Smart PDF," is a secure, password-protected eBill payment option offered. It allows customers to view and pay their bills directly within the PDF document received via email, eliminating the need to visit a separate website.
