Memo to Village of Bluffton utility users:

No more bills using the familiar yellow card system for Bluffton utility users.

AN EXAMPLE OF THE NEW BILL IS IN AN ATTACHMENT AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS STORY.

“It was our intention to switch with the  current bill, however, with the water damage at town hall, the printer was ruined and we were not able to print the bills,” she said.
