Concord Municipal Utilities has rolled out an exciting new utility billing and other changes! All your Town utilities — Electric, Water, Sewer and Broadband — will be combined into one newly-designed monthly bill making it easy for you to pay with just one payment.

Customer Service

We combined our Utility Customer Service team during the past ten months to give you one point of contact for information and assistance on your utility accounts. The team is located at 1175 Elm Street and can be reached at 978-318-3101, or concordutilities@concordma.gov.

We will extend our customer service phone and lobby hours from Monday, May 13 – Friday, June 7 to assist our customers with the transition to the new billing system. These will be our hours during the transition period:

• 7:00 AM – 4:30 PM Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday
• 7:00 AM – 5:30 PM Thursday

New Bill Design and Billing

We have completely re-designed our bills to accommodate all your utility account information on one bill. Each customer is assigned a Customer Number and each utility service provider (Electric, Water, Sewer, Broadband) is assigned a separate Account Number under that customer number.

In addition to your billing and service summary, you will see each service provider activity along with your usage graphs, comparisons, and averages on the new bill. For customers with multiple service locations, you will receive one bill for all your service locations.

You can continue to receive your bill in the mail, or opt to go paperless and view your bill online with SmartHub.

You will continue to receive your monthly bill on the same billing cycle as you receive it today. So if your Bill Date is the 10^th of the month, you will continue to receive your new bill on the 10^th; if your Bill Date is the 20^th, then you will continue to receive your new bill on the 20^th; and if your Bill Date is the 30^th, then you will continue to be billed on the 30^th.

Your first new bill beginning with the May 10^th bill cycle will include a “How to Read Your Bill” insert to help you understand the changes we’ve made to our new bills.

Payment Options

We are pleased to offer our customers several options for bill payment of all their utilities: Electric, Water, Sewer and Broadband. Bill payment options include paying by credit card using MasterCard, Visa, or Discover. Both options below are separate from and in addition to making a payment through SmartHub®, the new customer account portal.
