Cypress Springs Special Utility District offers our customers a wide variety of convenient payment options. Choose the option that best suits your needs.
**We zip-code sort your bills and hand-deliver them to the Mount Vernon Post Office the last week of each month. We do not have any control over what happens to your bill after that. According to the Postmaster, mail received at the local office is taken to a USPS Distribution Center—ours is in Coppell, Texas—to be sorted by machine and then returned to the local office for delivery.
If you do not receive your bill by the first of the month, please contact our office and ask for your bill amount and due date or you may go to your account online.**
