Bill Payment

Cypress Springs Special Utility District offers a wide variety of convenient payment options for our customers. Simply choose the option that best suits your needs.

**Your bills are zip code sorted by us and hand-delivered 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, 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.**
