Updates Regarding Utility Billing
We appreciate the community's patience as we work to restore access to all features of our utility billing software, some of which became unavailable following a recent cybersecurity incident. Learn more about the incident and the town’s response at www.apexnc.org/updates.
Information was mailed or emailed (depending on each customer's account settings) in late July to all Town of Apex utility customers.
All information that was sent can also be found at www.apexnc.org/payment. This page is updated frequently as various features are restored. Visit this page to view key points about:
- Creating (or recreating) your online utilities profile
- Amounts due, and timing of billing
- Payment options
- Bank draft status

- NCDOT State Transportation Improvement Program - specifies how funds will be spent on transportation projects across the state
- Wake Transit Plan Update – seeks feedback on Wake County’s investment strategy to improve and expand their transit network

Major Project Highlights for Capital Improvement Plan
The town’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is a multi-year plan for major expenses like construction or renovation of public buildings and parks, purchase of land, construction of new roads and sidewalks, expansion or renovation of water, wastewater, electric, or stormwater infrastructure, and capital equipment to support operations.
The plan is reviewed and updated each year as funding, needs, and community priorities change. Projects eligible for inclusion in the CIP are those with an asset value of greater than $100,000 and a useful life of greater than three years.
CIP projects for the upcoming Fiscal Year (July 2024 – June 2025) include:
- Center St. and Chatham St. Railroad Crossing Improvements
