Enroll in E-Z Pay and enter to win
All Concord water customers who are enrolled in the city’s automatic water billing payment plan, E-Z Pay, by 5 p.m. on Friday will be entered for a chance to win one of three available Shower Better Bundles! Concord General Services is hosting its E-Z Pay for WaterSense contest for the fourth year in celebration of October being EPA WaterSense’s Shower Better Month.
However, this year, instead of only being able to win a WaterSense labeled showerhead, three randomly selected E-Z Pay enrollees will win a Shower Better Bundle that includes a water-saving pail, a high-performance WaterSense labeled showerhead with ShowerStart technology to suspend water flow after the water warms up (save water, save energy, and potentially save money on utility bills), a four-minute shower timer, a duck shower cap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, shower sponge and a towel.
Customers enrolled in E-Z Pay still receive a bill summary indicating the date the bank draft will occur, making it easy to track payments.
Enroll in E-Z Pay in person at the water billing office at 311 N. State St., or print the form online at concordnh.gov/utilitybilling and return it by mail or in person. If you are already enrolled in E-Z Pay, you are automatically entered in the contest for a chance to win.

Go to Wednesday’s Wisdom this week
Wednesday’s Wisdom Pot Luck will be held this week at 5:30 p.m. at the Mill Brook Gallery & Sculpture Garden.
This month’s topic: Why Do We Have Minds and What on Earth Are They Up To?
Nature starts with very simple things and somehow creates great complexity. Is that how our minds came about? The Prisoner’s Dilemma, animal behavior, “quorum sensing,” the appearance of cooperation in a predator/prey world: each holds clues to help us frame answers and have fun with new questions about ourselves, our relationships and our cultures. Even psychiatry might offer some clues if it could get its act together.
David Coursin is a psychiatrist, visual artist, poet and apprentice musician who has studied these questions in hopes of doing a better job in his work and in understanding himself.
Wednesday’s Wisdom is free and open to the public. It is a pot luck and bring-your-own (wine, beer or other drinks) event.
