Bill Recalculation Request Form Now Available
In July 2024, a cybersecurity incident delayed the timing of our utility billing processes. As a result, customers received a ‘combined bill’ (in August or September, depending on your billing cycle) that covered multiple months of service instead of one month.
Customers who wish to request a detailed review of their specific combined bill can do so through July 31st. If you are not able to access the online form at the link below, please reach out to customer service staff at (919) 249-3311 or visit Town Hall at 73 Hunter Street during normal business hours.

Town-Owned EV Charging Stations to Begin Charging Usage Fee

Town of Apex-owned EVs have priority charging at the stations but if a spot is open – community members can pay to charge. Chargers are “tap to pay” meaning a user will need to have a credit or debit card, mobile device, or wearable device with contact-less payment technology.
