Court Case Water Bill

Hi, it seems for one of my properties we weren't getting the water bill for some time and i received a court hearing now for not paying (and worse of all its on a Saturday morning). Any suggestions on how I can just pay this online or something or is there an attorney who handles these types of issues?

@Isaac S. @Eric M. A water hearing is an administrative hearing held at 400 Superior in the city and they do NOT do them over Zoom, you have to appear in person. If you don't appear, they will enter a default against you. These hearings are strict liability, either you pay or they enter an order against the property and lien it.
