All of us living in St David have found ourselves in a world where digital transactions are becoming the norm. Cash is not only inconvenient but also unsafe, amplifying our struggles in daily life. The county's insistence on cash payments for St David water services further complicates matters.

We question why this outdated method of transaction is still in place. It raises concerns about the possibility of unreported finances, a symptom of an unchecked cash-based system. In 2018, the Federal Reserve reported that card payments accounted for over 75% of all non-cash payments in the US, underscoring the national shift towards digital transactions (Federal Reserve, 2018).

It’s about convenience and safety. It's about keeping up with the times for not only our individual households but also our community. It's time we modernized the payment methods for St David water services in our county. We bet on the leaders of Cochise County to take actionable steps towards this change.

Demand that Cochise County authorities allow credit/debit cards as a form of payment for St David water services in their area. Sign this petition today to support this cause and to bring our community into the 21st century.
