Payment Arrangement

Amortization of the unpaid balance:

When an account becomes past due, it can become difficult to catch up on payments. The payment arrangement allows City of American Canyon residents to divide the current past due balance over a period of six months. This installment balance must be paid in addition to current monthly charges and late fees. LATE FEES WILL NOT BE WAIVED WHILE ON A PAYMENT ARRANGEMENT.

To set up your payment arrangement:

  1. We require the utility account holder to call or come into our office to discuss the payment arrangement terms.

Phone Number: 707-647-4364

Address: 4381 Broadway, American Canyon Monday – Friday 8:30am – 5pm

(Closed for lunch 12noon – 1pm)

  1. After terms have been agreed upon, the utility account holder must come into our office to present their identification, review, and sign the payment arrangement, and make their first payment. 

In extreme circumstances, the Finance Director or designee can consider/approve a payment arrangement term for up to 12 months.

Residential customers that meet all three of the following will immediately qualify for 12-month extension:

  1. The account holder submits a medical certification of a primary care provider (as defined in Section 14088 of the Welfare and Institutions Code) that discontinuation of residential service will be life-threatening to, or pose a serious threat, to health and safety of the resident of the premises where service is provided.
  2. The customer must provide proof the household income is less than 200% of the Federal Poverty Level. 
  3. The customer is willing to enter into a payment arrangement and adhere to its terms and make payments on time.
