Coppell phases out the penny

April 20, 2026

If you pay your bill in cash at the Utility Billing window, there will be a change starting next month. The US Treasury has retired the penny, and we are, too! Pennies will continue to be accepted as payment, but effective May 1, 2026, they will no longer be given as change. Any pennies will be added as a credit on your account for use on your next bill.
