MONROVIA NEWS BRIEFS

REINSTATING NORMAL BILLING PROCESS FOR UTILITY BILLS

Beginning December 2024, the City of Monrovia will be reinstating normal billing processes that were 
temporarily suspended due to a data loss event that occurred in March 2024. As part of this reinstatement, 
late fees for delinquent payments and water shutoffs for non-payment will resume. Utility accounts that 
have been paid in full with no outstanding balance will not be impacted. However, utility accounts with 
past-due balances may be impacted.

To avoid service interruption, we encourage all residents to pay their outstanding utility bills promptly. 
Payments can be made through the City’s website, electronically via your bank, or by phone using a credit 
card or checking account.

An insert with more information will be included in the November utility bills. Additionally, if you have 
any questions or need assistance with your accounts, or to discuss payment arrangements, please contact 
the City at (626) 932-5517 or by email at watercustomersvs@monroviaca.gov.

ARCADIA LAUNCHES TRANSIT SERVICE ASSESSMENT PROJECT AND 

COMMUNITY SURVEY

 

The City of Arcadia’s Development Services Department has launched the Arca-dia Transit Service Assessment, 
a comprehensive initiative aimed at evaluating and improving the City’s transit options, including 
both the fixed-route service and the dial-a-ride program. This effort seeks to identify enhancements and 
explore new services that better serve the needs of the community.

 

Starting today, a public survey is open to all residents—transit users and non-users alike—inviting feedback 
on the City’s transit system. The survey focuses on key areas such as satisfaction with existing services, suggestions 
for new services or improvements, and overall access and conven-ience. Residents can access the 
survey, along with additional project details, online at Arcadia-CA.gov/TransitStudy. Versions of the survey 
in Chinese and Spanish are also available upon re-quest or in person at City Hall. To request a translated 
version of the survey, please contact the Transportation Services Division at (626) 574-5435 or by email at 
ArcadiaTransit@ArcadiaCA.gov.

“We encourage everyone in the community to share their thoughts,” said Jason Kruckeberg, As-sistant City 
Manager/Development Services Director. “Whether you’re a regular transit user or have ideas for service 
improvements or changes of any kind, your input is critical in shaping a transit system that meets the needs 
of Arcadia residents and visitors.”

The City urges all residents to participate, as this is a key opportunity to have a direct impact on the future 
of Arcadia’s transit services.

For more information or to take the survey, visit ArcadiaCA.gov/TransitStudy.
