Pay Your Bill

Pay your bill online by check, debit card, or credit card.

Mail or Drop Off:
Make checks payable to East Goshen Township and mail to:

Automatic ACH Payments:
Residents can have quarterly sewer and refuse payments automatically deducted from their bank account. Complete the Electronic Payment Authorization Form and submit it with a voided check. Online (WIPP) autopay follows the same schedule as above but does not post to the resident’s account until the 21st or next business day after the scheduled direct debit date. The mailing and due dates are the same for all residents with EGT services. Anyone enrolling for a direct debit program should do so prior to the 14th of the month the bill is due to make the cutoff for the current quarter.

Please notify the Township in writing of any changes to your banking information or if you wish to cancel automatic payments.
