Paying by mail or check

To pay by mail, write a check or money order payable to "City of El Paso Water Utilities." Include your account number on the check. Mail it to the address printed on your bill — this address may vary depending on which service area you are in, so always check your statement first.

Mail payments take longer to reach El Paso Water and process, so send your check at least a week before your due date to avoid a late payment. If you are close to the important date, paying online or by phone is faster and safer.

Paying by phone or in person

You can call El Paso Water's customer service line at 915-594-5711 to pay your bill over the phone using a debit or credit card. Have your account number and payment amount ready when you call. Phone payments process the same day.

If you prefer to pay in person, El Paso Water has payment drop boxes and customer service locations throughout El Paso. You can find the nearest location and hours on their website at epwater.org. Some locations accept cash, check, or card payments, so call ahead if you want to confirm what payment methods they take.

Setting up automatic payments

Automatic payments are the easiest way to make sure you never miss a due date. Create an online account at epwater.org, go to the "Billing" section, and select "Enroll in AutoPay." You choose the payment date and amount, and El Paso Water withdraws the money from your bank account or card on that day each month.

You can change or cancel automatic payments anytime through your online account. If you want to pause payments for a month or adjust the amount, log in and update your settings. There is no fee to set up or use AutoPay.

What to do if you cannot pay on time

If you are having trouble paying your water bill, contact El Paso Water customer service at 915-594-5711 as soon as possible. They can discuss your options, which may include a payment plan that spreads your bill over several months instead of one lump sum.

El Paso Water may also have programs to help customers facing hardship. Call to ask what options are available in your situation. The sooner you reach out, the more options you may have before your account falls behind.

Understanding your bill and due date

Your El Paso Water bill shows your account number, the amount due, and the due date — usually printed near the top of the statement. The due date is typically 20 days after the bill is mailed. If you pay after the due date, El Paso Water may charge a late fee.

Your bill also shows your water usage for the billing period, measured in gallons. If your usage seems unusually high, check for leaks in your home or contact El Paso Water to report a possible meter error. You can also view your usage history online if you have an account set up.
