ood news for Connecticut residents!

New state funding has been approved to continue reducing public benefit costs on residential electric bills through at least April 30, 2027.

According to the State of Connecticut, the newly approved funding will help keep average residential electric bills approximately 3–5% lower. Combined with other energy cost reductions, average residential electric bills for Eversource and United Illuminating customers have decreased by about 18% so far in 2026.

At WHHA, we know that every bit of savings can make a difference for individuals and families. We’re happy to share resources and updates that can help our community stay informed and manage household expenses. 🏠💙

The Town of West Hartford is pleased to announce that ParkMobile is now officially available as a mobile parking payment option throughout West Hartford.

ParkMobile gives residents, visitors, and customers more convenient, flexible ways to pay for parking using their mobile device. Customers may use the ParkMobile app, or take advantage of new Scan to Pay and Text to Pay options without downloading an app or creating an account.

Customers can pay by:

ParkMobile App – Open the app, enter the Zone # posted on the parking signage, select your vehicle and parking duration, and complete payment.

Scan to Pay – Scan the QR code displayed on the parking sign with a mobile device and follow the prompts to pay.

Text to Pay – Text “Park” to 77223 and follow the instructions to begin a parking session.

The ParkMobile app also provides additional features, including the ability to extend parking time remotely where permitted and receive alerts before a parking session expires.

ParkMobile is an additional payment option and does not replace the Town's other available parking payment methods. Existing payment options, including Passport Parking and parking kiosks where available, will continue to be accepted.

As part of the rollout, new and updated parking signage will be installed throughout West Hartford's municipal parking garages, surface lots, and on-street parking areas reflecting the available payment options. Customers should look for the Zone # displayed on the signage at their parking location and follow the posted instructions to complete payment.

The introduction of ParkMobile and these additional mobile payment options are part of the Town's continued effort to modernize its municipal parking system and make paying for parking easier and more convenient for the community.

If you have questions or need assistance, please contact the Municipal Parking Division at (860) 561-8220 or [email protected].
