Haven't Received Your Utility Bill?

We've received an unusually high number of calls and visits from residents who have not yet received their utility bills this month. All bills were mailed on October 26, but some customers are still waiting for delivery.

We encourage all Yorktown utility customers to sign up for email or text notifications to avoid potential recipient delay via mail.

When you sign up for electronic notifications, you'll receive your billing information the same day your bill is generated, without having to wait for it to arrive in the mail.

These notifications are in addition to your regular mailed bill, not a replacement! You can continue paying exactly as you always have, including mailing a check. Signing up for notifications does not require you to pay online.

Getting started is easy! Visit www.yorktownindiana.org and select "Online Bill Pay" to set up your email or text notifications.

Need a little help? Give us a call or stop by Town Hall. Our staff will be happy to help you get everything set up.

We appreciate your patience as we work to help everyone stay informed and avoid unnecessary billing delays.

Yorktown's Letters to Santa Mailbox is back up at Civic Green and ready for your family thanks to The Town of Yorktown and the Yorktown Luminary Festival with a special thank you to Christine Whittmore of Happy Accidents Art Studio for decorating the box with such a merry and festive style.

Children can drop their letters (in an envelope) to Santa through the end of Thursday December 3 and can expect to receive a handwritten reply. Letters are sent to Santa Claus, Indiana, where elves help Santa write back to children who include their return address. Letters dropped off after December 3 will still be forwarded, but a reply may not arrive before Christmas.

Postage will be provided by the Luminary Festival Committee for all letters received in the Yorktown mailbox both to Santa Claus' Workshop and for a response.

The mailbox is waterproof, lockable, and seasonally installed near Town Hall at the Civic Green (SR-32).

YORKTOWN LUMINARY INTRODUCES THE YORKTOWN STOP HOP

We're excited to introduce a new way to celebrate and support Yorktown businesses during the Luminary Festival, Small Business Saturday, and throughout the holiday season!

The Luminary Stop Hop is designed to highlight local businesses, create curiosity about Yorktown, and encourage residents and visitors to stop and shop at the many businesses throughout Yorktown.

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS
November | Getting to Know Your Business
Before Small Business Saturday, we'll visit participating businesses for short Facebook Live videos introducing their people, products, and services, along with anything special they have planned for the holiday shopping season.

Saturday, November 28 | Small Business Saturday
During the Yorktown Luminary Festival, we'll be out visiting participating businesses throughout the community. We'll attempt to feature each location through a Facebook Live video or social media post, depending on the number of participants and scheduling.

December | Holiday Shopping Spotlight
Before Christmas, we'll return to participating businesses for another round of Facebook Live visits, encouraging residents and visitors to continue discovering and supporting Yorktown businesses throughout the holiday season.

WE WANT YOUR BUSINESS TO PARTICIPATE!
To be included in the Stop Hop, your business must:
