Interested students should:
✅ Demonstrate leadership in school and/or community activities.
✅ Express an interest in advising the City Council and staff on teen issues and representing your fellow teens.
✅ Be willing to commit about 8 hours per month.

To improve customer service, Menlo Park Municipal Water is transitioning to a third party billing service from Minol Inc. to Util360.

By May 2024, customers will have access to an all-new online portal with enhanced features that will include better water usage tracking, automatic water leak alerts, more payment options, fixed billing due dates and consistent autopay dates.

Facts to note:
💧 There is no impact on set water fees and rates.
💧 Water service will not be interrupted.
💧 Once the online system is live in May, customers will need to update their payment information. Additional actions needed by customers will be communicated before the system goes live.
💧 No action is required at this time.

Thank you for your patience through this transition as we improve the customer service experience. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3IQz0z0

Note: The featured Util 360 graphic is for illustrative purposes and has not been modified for Menlo Park.
