Colorado Bear Creek Water and Sanitation District’s Customers Can Now Make Secure, Online Payments

Bear Creek Water and Sanitation District’s (BCWSD) customers now
have the convenience of paying their water and sewer bills online.
BCWSD’s new website, https://www.colorado.gov/bearcreekwater,
features PayPort—the secure online payment processing system that
allows governments to accept credit cards and eChecks from their
constituents.
BCWSD is responsible for bringing public water and sanitary
sewer service to the Bear Creek Valley, an area with a population
of approximately 32,000 residents. Therefore, another goal for the
new website was to save customers time by making it easier for them
to find what they need online. Typical searches regarding fees,
rules and regulations, Water Quality Reports, financial
transparency, the Board of Directors meeting schedule as well as
license applications for contractors were reorganized for faster
access.
“Previously, Bear Creek Water and Sanitation District’s
information was on an archaic web platform that limited how we
could present content to our customers,” said Systems
Administrator, Chad Weaver. “We turned our website into a very
sleek and professional-looking one that provides user-friendly
content. Customers are now able to easily navigate the site to pay
their bills and find information.”
“Bear Creek Water and Sanitation District joins the growing
number of special districts answering citizens’ needs for more
online services that they can do at their convenience and on a
secure platform,” said Colorado Interactive’s President and General
Manager, Mike Ansley. “The ability to access more information and
perform more transactions online means expanding districts can
efficiently serve customers. It’s a win for everyone.”
BCWSD utilized Colorado Interactive (CI) and the Statewide
Internet Portal Authority’s (SIPA) proprietary platform to rapidly
develop its new website. CI provides digital government services to
state agencies, local governments and educational entities through
a contract with SIPA — the official internet portal connecting the
public with Colorado government. The partnership’s mission allows
government leaders to focus on delivering on-demand, digital
government solutions without requests for proposals or the use of
tax appropriations.
"Bear Creek Water and Sanitation District has taken advantage of
two robust services on Colorado.gov; services which assist the
district in providing secure and efficient online operations for
their residents," said SIPA’s Executive Director Jack Arrowsmith.
"The SIPA/CI partnership delivers customizable payment processing
and websites, at no cost to our government partners, that are easy
to edit and manage by the district and intuitive to use for
visitors."
The SIPA/CI partnership has benefited more than 60 special
districts and educational organizations in Colorado. Eligible
government entities in need of free website development and hosting
as well as payment processing through the Colorado.gov Web portal
should contact SIPA.
