During this time:

💻 Utility bills may be paid online at southhillva.org.

📬 Cash and check payments may still be placed in the drop box at our Danville Street location.

📧 Questions, concerns, or requests for assistance may be emailed [email protected].

We understand this temporary closure may cause some inconvenience, and we sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding as our team completes this transition. We are excited to welcome residents, customers, and visitors back to Town Hall and look forward to serving you from our permanent location once again.

Thank you for your support, and we'll see you back at Town Hall soon!
