(LaPorte, IN) - The city of LaPorte is making online payments easier.  The current digital system will be upgraded soon to make paying water bills, for example, simpler online.

Also being added is a push-button system for paying on the phone around the clock. Clerk-Treasurer Courtney Parthun says the new digital payment system will be easy for young and old to navigate.

The drop boxes outside the city hall are also going to be larger due to recent heavy use from COVID-19. The drop boxes are also going to be made more secure.
