A new dropbox, mounted near the 1st Street doors of the Rainier City Hall will securely accept payments for City of Rainier utility bills as well as payments for Clatskanie and Columbia River PUD.
It is asked that no Rainier Municipal Court related payments be made via the new box and depositing cash is discouraged.
"This is a great step for our community," said Mayor Jerry Cole. "Not just in this time of 'social distancing,' but going forward by allowing for payments to be made anytime that fits the schedule of our customers."
The box is secure and monitored around the clock.
It is a cooperative project of the City of Rainier and the two power providers.
