​The Utility Billing department maintains normal business hours of 8 am to 5 pm, Monday through Friday. Customers may bring in payments during that time; outside of the normal hours, customers may mail payments, drop payments in the drive-thru drop box located at Town Center, or pay online.​​

​

 Service Disruption

If your water service has been suddenly interrupted and you do not know the cause, please call the Utility Billing department at 972-304-3695. When water service has been discontinued for non-payment of a bill, the full amount of the bill plus a $20 reconnection fee must be paid before service is reinstated. Customers should contact the Utility Operations department to report water leaks, sewer back-ups, or water quality problems at 972-462-5150.

​water, Sewer, & Garbage Rates

Residential Water Rates​

Residential water rates are $16.00 for the first 1,000 gallons and $2.85 per 1,000 gallons thereafter (November through May).
During the summer months, water is used primarily for lawn irrigation. This usage can account for up to 60% of summer water use. Experts predict that as the population continues to grow, the demand for and availability of water will begin to stress public water supplies and systems. Those who dramatically increase​ their water use during the months of June through October will help pay for the additional water needed to keep up with peak demand. Residential water rates for June through October are as follows:

Residential Sewer Rates Year Round

Senior Water ​Rates

Senior Citizens (age 65 and older) may apply for a 10% discount on their water bill by providing a copy of their driver's license. Senior discounted water rates are $14.40 for the first 1,000 gallons and $2.56 per 1,000 gallons thereafter (November through May).
Beginning in June and ending in October, Senior discount water rates are as follows:

Senior Sewer Rates Year Round

Residential Garbage Rates

Republic Services provides refuse collection services. This service is mandatory for all residents and billed on your monthly water bill. For additional information, contact Utility Billing at 972-304-3695. The current residential garbage rate, effective January 1, 2016, is $15.26 per month plus $1.26 sales tax and $0.10 public education fee.

Senior Garbage Rates

The senior citizen (age 65 and older) residential garbage rate, effective January 1, 2016, is $13.73 per month plus $1.13 sales tax and $0.10 public education fee.

Commercial water and sewer rates are based on the size of the meter installed. For specific account information, contact Utility Billing at 972-304-3695. Garbage rates are based on the size of the container. For specific account information, please ​call Republic Services at 972-304-3555.

SERVICE Set Up & Changes

​The City of Coppell uses 2 Turn It On to set up new residential utility accounts.  Contact the Utility Billing department to transfer or cancel service or to set up commercial accounts.  Use the H2O Online portal to make changes to your payment or contact information. Rental properties must be registered and inspected prior to a new tenant moving in and setting up a utility account. Visit Building Inspections​ for fees and scheduling.

Commercial​ customers will not be able to utilize 2 Turn It On.  Please complete the Service Application and Service Agreement and return them to the Utility Billing Department either via email at H2OBills@coppelltx.gov or fax at 972-304-7091.

Paying Your Bill

Customers are billed monthly for water, sewer, and garbage services.  Payment is due no later than twenty days from the billing dates. After the 20th day, a 10% penalty will be assessed on the balance. If payment still has not been received within approximately 10 days after the penalty date, your service will be disconnected. Additionally, there will be a $20 reconnect fee to have your service reinstated. To avoid service being disconnected and being assessed the reconnect fee, customers unable to pay their bill in full by the due date should contact our office to make payment arrangements. Payment arrangements are done on a case-by-case basis. Customers may complete and sign a payment arrangement agreement in person or via fax.

​Electronic Bank Drafting Service

Customers may elect to have an automatic electronic bank draft occur for monthly water bill payments. Customers selecting this option will receive a monthly bill stating "Amount Due will be Bank Drafted - DO NOT PAY." Your bank will deduct the water bill amount approximately two to three business days prior to the due date printed on your bill. There is no charge for this bank draft plan and the draft option may be discontinued at any time by simply notifying the City in writing. At this time, please note that participating in the Voluntary Donations is not possible through the electronic bank drafting service.

Voluntary Donations

The City of Coppell has established a voluntary donation program that is payable with your monthly water bill. The program is strictly voluntary and allows a total contribution of $2 per month to be utilized for the Library, Parks, Economic Development, and Fire departments only. Those wishing to participate in this program will need to contact the Utility Billing department directly.

​​​Each summer the City of Coppell formally seeks volunteers to serve on a number of City Boards, Commissions and Committees. During this process, notices are mailed to all households.  Applications are accepted in August each year and are retained for one year in the event a resignation occurs.

​The City of Coppell has partnered with Denton County's non-profit SPAN Transit, to provide shared transportation services, by appointment, for seniors age 60+ and those who may have mobility impairment. 

SPAN began accepting reservations for riders in June 2016. Transportation service is by appointment only and must be schedulaed in advance. SPAN is not an emergency medical transportation service. ​

To use SPAN Transit, passengers must first complete and submit a written application to SPAN. The application is available online at Span-transit.org, or by calling the SPAN Dispatch Office at (940) 382-1900.

Upon receipt of completed applications, please allow a maximum of 21 days to process applications. SPAN will begin processing properly completed applications immediately upon receipt. Only completed, signed applications will be considered for review.

Once the application is fully completed, the signed original should be dropped off, mailed or faxed to:  SPAN, 1800 Malone, Denton, TX 76201, or faxed to 940-383-8433. Upon completion of review, applicants will receive written notice via U.S. mail and may begin scheduling trips. Passengers will need to reapply every three years from the date they are initially approved so that SPAN will have up-to-date information. 

All SPAN vehicles are equipped with wheelchair lifts or ramps. SPAN drivers are trained to assist individuals who may have mobility impairment or use assistive devices. 

SPAN's service area includes all of Coppell and surrounding areas in close proximity to the Coppell city limits (see map below). Service to and from Baylor Scott & White Medical Center of Grapevine is also included as a part of SPAN's contract with Coppell. A one year contract for this service will cost the City $75,000 annually based on the current transit area. 

With DART and DCTA not an option, City staff began looking into potential transportation ​​services that could meet the needs of the community. Metrocrest Services currently provides limited transportation to qualifying Coppell residents, however an increase in demand could hamper their ability to continue to provide quality service. For more information regarding Span’s policies and procedures, please visit http://span-transit.org .​​​

JURY SERVICE

Jury service is an obligation of citizenship, which is essential to the judicial process. It is an opportunity for you to make a meaningful contribution to ensure that justice is provided in our community.

If you have received a notice regarding jury duty from the Coppell Municipal Court, your presence is required at this time. Please report promptly at the time and place noted on your summons. The time and appearance date on which you are expected to appear are located in the body of the notice. Jury duty starts promptly at the time listed on the notice, and because caseloads vary, plan to stay the entire day. 

Parking information: Parking is available in the Visitor Parking Lot on the North side of the Coppell Justice Center.  The parking lot on the South side of the Justice Center is reserved for police vehicles and employees only. Parking in unauthorized lots may result in your vehicle being towed.

Witnesses and jurors, who fail to appear after having been subpoenaed, may be ordered to show cause why further action should not be taken against them. If you require additional information, please contact the Coppell Municipal Court No. 1 from 8 am to 5 pm, Monday through Friday at 972-304-3650.

You do not need to appear in person if you are disqualified or exempt from jury service. To claim these exemptions, complete the affidavit that you have received, and be certain to have the affidavit notarized, and returned to the court immediately. It is our policy to make jury service accessible to all qualified persons without regard to disability. If your disability requires accommodation, please call upon receipt of your jury summons, so we can discuss your needs. 
In the event that your services are no longer required, we will post notice here. Please refer back to this page before you come in for Jury duty.​​

Municipal Court Authority and Jurisdiction

The single most important source of municipal court authority and jurisdiction is the Texas Constitution which gives the state legislature the power to establish courts and their jurisdiction when it sees fit. The legislature exercised this power and first created municipal courts in the Corporation Court Law of 1899. This law has been codified in the Texas Government Code. Municipal courts also look to various other statutes and codes for authority and jurisdiction.
--Provided by the Texas Municipal Courts Education Center

The source of Court of Record Authority is the State of Texas Government Code, Chapter 30, Subchapter L.L.--Coppell. In addition, the following also authorize the Court: Coppell City Code, Chapter 5; 1996 Edition, and Art. 5 Sec. 31 Texas Constitution.
