If I could give zero stars.. Today no one is here at the office. There is no sign indicating if they are closed for Good Friday either. This isnt the first time that Ive had to come have my water manually turned back on because they shut it off with no warnings only to have no one available to help. Either because of incompetency or just flat out not being on the job. Also weve tried setting up an automatic bill pay but its impossible because they have an old outdated system for processing payments, which in turn creates more fees and unannounced stopping of services. Which might I add is illegal in the state of Texas. Its infuriating that I cant change to the other utility providers in town because of location but still this is unacceptable for the people of this town. We all deserve better. Shame on you City of Elgin Utility Dept.

Walked in today at 3:55pm (they close at 4pm) and with a SMILE everyone got me squared away to get my utilities turned on today! Amazing service! Truly grateful!

The bill pay service seems willfully difficult on their end, so they can rack up fees. You apparently cannot pay online for your first bill (For us, we cant pay online or over the phone AT ALL!!!)... And if you call them to pay over the phone? Also NO! They "Don't have the technology" to take a card over the phone- direct quote. You apparently need to get a check or a money order, & drop it off in person. In 2021 I guess we need to show up on horseback to pay a water bill in person in Elgin. Im genuinely concerned when all these people moving to Texas get into Elgin, how they plan to handle a population boom.

Bill pay is awful. Sent a check a week ahead of time. USPS took 8 days to go 5 miles so elgin charged late fees and doesn't allow appeals. Told me to take it up with USPS when I asked for then to look at post Mark date. Online bill pay (CC only) charge $3 for each transaction. Seems tailored to rack up additional fees.
