About Montgomery County Sewer District #2

Montgomery County Sewer District #2 is located out in the rural urban area south of Independence, known as the Fruitland Area. There are approximately 300 customers in the area which include residential homes, businesses, and a community college.

It was our intent to give our customers more options of ways to pay their bills. With the fast paced lifestyles people live now, we wanted to give our customers a way to conveniently pay from their own homes either online or by calling in therefore saving their postage costs and the hassle of trying to get to the office which is only open during normal business hours. Customers also now have the option of being able to pay in the office with a credit or debit card, which allows for a faster, more efficient way of bill paying.

Located in Montgomery County, KS, serves an estimated 35,471 residents.
