Utility Billing and Payments
9/15/2025
The City mails utility bills between the 7th and 10th of each month. Payment is due by the last day of the month.
The local Post Office is required to send all mail, including local mail, to Columbia to be sorted. Neither the City nor the local Post Office can control the Columbia postal sorting system.
If you do not receive your bill, you can:
- Contact City Hall at 660-841-5524.
- Contact City Hall at CityPrairieHome.com and use the ‘contact us’ link.
- Look up the amount you owe at MissouriPayments.com. You will need to enter ‘PH-xxx’ where ‘xxx’ is your account number. You do not have to pay on-line, but you can still see your amount due.
- Pay an amount consistent with your “normal” amount due, perhaps rounding up if your bill fluctuates.
Every customer is responsible for monthly payment. Every customer knows there is an amount due every month.
The City truly wishes things were simpler, but they simply aren’t.
Please pay responsibly!
