UBLink
UBLink™ is a robust water/sewer application engineered to manage all DPW needs related to billing and posting. Water/sewer billing is one of the most localized types of municipal billing.

The flexibility of UBLink™ readily accommodates the diversity of adopted water/sewer billing approaches. Water/sewer posting can be equally complex, which is why Point designed UBLink™for maximum automation at both the batch and account level.
