We have been made aware of an email campaign from DOXO, titled “doxoDIRECT Agreement and Enrollment form”. They are aggressively asking for you to complete a pre-filled form with our information and requesting our banking information so that they can deposit payments into your account rather than send a check. This payment program is not part of our operations nor part of a Bill Pay program at your bank.
We recommend that you DO NOT give them this information. By doing so, you are agreeing to sign a contract with them for their merchant services.
In the past, we have received many inquiries regarding payments that customers said they made, but not through our Online Bill Pay integrated payment system nor through a bank’s payment program. After a good amount of research, we found that DOXO set up a payment page for our utility without our knowledge and a check would eventually arrive for that customer’s payment. In the meantime, many accounts went past due or the meter was even locked while we waited for the payment. Our online payment program and your bank’s payment programs are safe, secure ways to ensure payment is made timely.

- Irrigation System Leaks Video. Upper Trinity Regional Water District released a new video last week, “How to Find Leaks in Your Sprinkler System,” featuring Licensed Irrigator Michael Mueller, who conducts the irrigation checkups for UTRWD. He points out different parts of the sprinkler system for residents to check for leaks, especially after the freezing weather in February. Please share as you see most appropriate.
- Are you having trouble with your sprinkler system? The Upper Trinity Regional Water District, in partnership with Cross Timbers Water Supply Corporation, are offering FREE Irrigation System Check-Ups for homeowners! As part of the voluntary program, a licensed irrigator will perform a check-up of the system and identify potential problems, such as a broken or misaligned sprinkler heads and improper controller settings.During the check-up, the irrigator will discuss proper irrigation system maintenance and controller operation and efficient watering habits, as well as provide a written report with suggested repairs and an estimated water savings amount to the homeowner. The number of check-ups is limited. Please fill out the online request form at http://bit.ly/UTRWDCHECKUP to request a check-up. If you qualify, the licensed irrigator will contact you to schedule the check-up. For more information on saving water outdoors, visit https://utrwd.com/saving-water/save-outdoors.
- Check your irrigation system for leaks. Go through the stations and run each one for a minute to see if you have broken sprinkler heads or areas where no sprinkling occurs indicating a broken pipe underground. Shut your sprinkler system off for 2-3 days if rain is anticipated or rain has occurred. Lawns sprinkled twice a week will survive better than a lawn sprinkled every day.
