Sugar Land residents, by the end of the month, can begin paying their water bills on the city's web site at its new, simpler domain, www.sugarlandtx.gov. Residents may also view their billing history, service and consumption summaries. Other new services that will be available on the Sugar Land web site include an online map room to access current city boundaries, a City Council map to view in which district residents reside, zoning designations, parks locations and infrastructure data north of U.S. 90A.

Also, permit applicants can view their permit online, schedule inspections and monitor inspection results.

In Spring 2002, the city re-launched its web site with a new look and streamlined navigation. The city continues to capitalize on technology to improve service delivery and make government more accessible to the public.

Currently, viewers can fill out and submit job applications, pay traffic fines, view jury summons information, access city bid information and watch live broadcasts of City Council and Planning and Zoning Commis- sion meetings, plus access numerous city forms.

The previous address www. ci.sugar-land.tx.us will remain and continue to function, translating automatically for the user. The change has a corresponding effect for e-mail addresses, which will also continue to function and translate automatically. (i.e. Diese E-Mail-Adresse ist vor Spambots geschützt! Zur Anzeige muss JavaScript eingeschaltet sein!. tx.us changes and automatically translates to gmcfarland @sugarlandtx.gov). More e-government initiatives will follow later this year.
