Utility Billing
HOUSING, UTILITY HELP FOR RESIDENTS WITH COVID-19 HARDSHIPS:
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has allocated Community Development Block Grant Coronavirus (CDBG-CV) funds to St. Charles County. Funds are available to assist County residents, including St. Peters residents, experiencing financial hardship due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. The program provides short-term rent, mortgage, and utility assistance to households facing foreclosure or eviction. Food and household items assistance is also available.

You can make payments through the mail, through automatic debits from your bank account, online using Bill Pay services, or at City Hall, One St. Peters Centre Blvd., during normal business hours. After hours, you can deposit your payment in the drop box in the west parking lot at City Hall.
