How to Pay Your Henderson Water Bill Online and by Mail
Where to pay your Henderson water bill
The City of Henderson, Nevada processes water bills through its Utilities Department. You can pay online through the city's official website, by phone, by mail, or in person at the Henderson Utilities office. The online portal is the fastest route — payments post the same day if submitted before 5 p.m. Pacific time on a business day.
Henderson does not use a third-party billing company for water accounts, so all payments go directly to the city. This means there is no separate vendor login to set up; you use the city's system whether you pay once or set up automatic payments.
Your bill arrives by mail or email depending on what you selected when you opened your account. The bill itself contains your account number, which you will need to pay online or by phone.

Paying online through the city portal
Go to the City of Henderson's official website and locate the Utilities section. You will find a link to pay your water bill online. Enter your account number (found on your bill) and the amount you want to pay. The system accepts credit cards, debit cards, and bank account transfers.
Credit and debit card payments may carry a processing fee set by the city's payment processor. Bank account transfers typically have no fee. The system will show you the fee amount before you confirm the payment, so you know the total before it is charged.
Payments submitted before 5 p.m. Pacific time on a business day post the same day. Payments submitted after hours or on weekends post the next business day. You will receive a confirmation number when ready after payment; save this for your records.
Paying by phone or mail
To pay by phone, call the number on your bill and speak to a Henderson Utilities representative. Have your account number and payment amount ready. Phone payments are processed the same day if called in before the cutoff time listed on your bill.
To pay by mail, write a check or money order payable to the City of Henderson. Include your account number on the check. Mail it to the address printed on your bill. The city's mail processing typically takes 7 to 10 business days, so mail your payment well before the due date to avoid late fees.
Do not send cash by mail. If you cannot pay online or by phone and prefer not to mail a check, the Henderson Utilities office accepts in-person payments during business hours.
Setting up automatic payments
Automatic payments can be set up through the online portal. You provide your bank account information once, and the city withdraws your payment on a date you choose each month. This prevents missed due dates, though you remain responsible if the withdrawal fails due to insufficient funds or a closed account.
You can change or cancel automatic payments at any time through the portal. If you cancel, you will need to pay future bills manually. The city recommends reviewing your account regularly to may support payments are posting correctly.
What happens if you miss a due date
Water bills in Henderson are due by the date printed on your bill. If payment is not received by that date, a late fee is added to your account. The amount of the late fee is set by the city and will be shown on your next bill.
If your bill remains unpaid for a certain period, the city may issue a notice of intent to shut off service. The exact timeline and notice requirements are in your service agreement. If you receive a shut-off notice, contact the Henderson Utilities office when ready to discuss payment options or a payment plan.
The city may offer a payment arrangement if you cannot pay the full amount at once. Call the number on your bill to ask about this option.
Finding your account number and bill information
Your account number appears in the upper right corner of your paper bill or in the email subject line if you receive bills electronically. You will need this number to pay online or by phone.
If you have lost your bill or do not have your account number, you can look it up on the city's website using your service address. Alternatively, call the Henderson Utilities office and provide your name and address; they will give you your account number.
