You must apply for utility service at City Hall, located at 125 S. 2nd Street in downtown Odessa, during regular business hours. You will need to complete an Utility Application with the service address and pay your deposit.
The deposit is required to cover the last month’s utility bill. Once the final bill has been paid, your deposit will be refunded to you. Interest is paid once a year to you at the rate received by the City for the previous year. It will show on your utility bill as a credit. The deposit required is $300 if you pay for all utilities. In some cases, the landlord pays the water bill. You would then only be required to make a deposit of $190.
You may pay your utility bill at City Hall with cash, check, or credit/debit card. To pay online, go to https://www.municipalonlinepayments.com/odessamo. A drop box is available for after-hours payments at the front of the building or for your convenience a drive up box is available in the alley behind City Hall. Only City Hall employees may accept payment for utility bills. Please remember to include the bottom portion of your bill with your payment. You may also mail your payment to City Hall – just be sure to mail it so it is received by City Hall before the due date. We cannot be held responsible for non-delivery by the Post Office.
