Roundup Program

We are now accepting donations for the Johnson County Multi-Service Center utility assistance program through our new roundup feature on utility bills. 

With this new feature in utility bills, you can round up to help other families. For example, if your bill is $100.15, 85 cents will be added as a donation to bring your total bill to $101. 

Interested in giving back to our community? All you have to do is sign up! Contact our Utility Billing Clerk at (913) 592-3626 or utilitybilling@springhillks.gov to enroll. If you sign up and are a bank draft customer, your donation will be drafted with your payment on the 15th of each month. Roundup donations cannot be made using the automated pay by phone system. Donated funds will directly benefit Spring Hill residents. 

The utility assistance program is available for all qualified Spring Hill residents in both Johnson and Miami counties. The program provides financial assistance to families who are experiencing difficulty paying electricity, natural gas, water, propane, heating wood or sewer bills. 

You can also make a charitable pledge to help utility customers in need by filling out this form and submitting it to City Hall.
