Customers Urged to Pay Bills Remotely as Part of COVID-19 Precautions

CPU offers several payment options to comply with social-distancing guidelines

To prioritize public health and safety during the COVID-19 response, Clarksdale Public Utilities encourages customers to avoid visiting CPU’s office to pay bills, if possible, and instead use other convenient payment options that comply with social-distancing guidelines.

Customers may pay bills using the kiosk and drop box located next to CPU’s building at 416 Third Street. Those who pay bills via CPU’s online portal, mobile app, phone system or bank draft, or who mail their payments to CPU, are encouraged to continue using those methods.

“Keeping our employees and customers safe during the COVID-19 crisis is our top priority,” said CPU General Manager Curtis D. Boschert. “We are closely following precautions to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, including guidelines for social distancing. CPU’s office will be open during normal business hours; however, we encourage customers to pay using remote methods, if possible, until further notice.”

Customers seeking more information may contact CPU at (662) 627-8499.

CPU offers a variety of billing and payment programs that give customers more control over their utility accounts, billing cycles and household budgets. As an added incentive, CPU programs have no sign-up charges or fees. Learn more here.
