Welcome
Welcome to DuBois, Pennsylvania!
"Best Place to Live — Best Place to Work"
Located in Western Pennsylvania; northeast of Pittsburgh and southeast of Erie. This charming City is surrounded by forests, streams, and wildlife; it is a nature-lovers and hunter’s paradise. For the wildlife lovers, the Elk herds in Elk County are just 18 miles to the north.
This quaint City is a powerhouse for baseball and softball. DuBois hosts multiple tournaments at the prestigious Showers, Heindl, and Stern fields; such as, the Small College World Series, the Eastern Regional Little League Tournament, the PIAA State games and PBR to name a few. DuBois’s ballfields are rated the best in the tri-state area.
We also have culture in the Reitz Theater, a local theater group which puts on plays throughout the year; the Winkler Gallery, a place for budding artists to perfect their craft; and Musicfest held Thursday evenings in the summer on the stage in the DuBois Memorial Park.
Penn State University has a local campus here. We also boast a state of the art medical facility at Penn Highlands Healthcare, and the DuBois Regional Airport is a mere eight miles from the City center.
DuBois is also surrounded by major highways: US 219, Interstate 80 and Route 322 making us an excellent hub for commerce.

New remit to address:

Please return the utility bill payment stub(s) with your check.
You can still use one check to pay multiple accounts, but you must return each payment stub in the envelope with your check.
If you pay online through your bank (Bill-Pay) please read the following very important updates:
- Your utility account number MUST be correct and EXACTLY as shown on your statement.
- You MUST change the biller address to the above address
If your payment is withdrawn from your checking account by us via ACH, there is nothing you need to do or change.
