Paying online through Phoenix Water Services

Go to the Phoenix Water Services website and select the option to pay your bill. You can pay as a guest without creating an account, or log in if you already have one. Enter your account number and the amount you want to pay.

The site accepts credit cards, debit cards, and bank account transfers. If you use a credit or debit card, Phoenix Water Services charges a convenience fee — the exact amount depends on the card type and is shown before you confirm payment. Bank account transfers (ACH) typically have no fee or a lower fee than card payments.

After you submit payment, you'll receive a confirmation number. Save this for your records. The payment usually posts to your account within one business day, though it may take longer if you pay late in the evening or on a weekend.

Paying by phone or mail

To pay by phone, call Phoenix Water Services at 602-262-6251. Have your account number and payment method ready. Phone payments are processed the same day if you call during business hours, but you'll pay a convenience fee for using this method.

To pay by mail, write a check or money order payable to "City of Phoenix Water Services" and include your account number on the check. Mail it to the address shown on your bill. Mail payments take longer to process — typically 7 to 10 business days from the time the city receives it — so send payment at least two weeks before your due date to avoid a late fee.

Setting up automatic payments

Automatic payments may support your bill is paid on time every month without you having to remember. Log into your Phoenix Water Services account online and look for the autopay or recurring payment option. You can choose to pay the full bill amount or a set amount each month.

You'll provide your bank account information or card details once, and the payment will be deducted automatically on the date you choose — typically around your bill's due date. You can change or cancel automatic payments anytime through your online account.

Paying in person at a Phoenix Water Services location

Phoenix Water Services has payment centers where you can pay in person during business hours. Payments made in person are typically posted the same day. You can find the nearest location and hours on the Phoenix Water Services website.

Bring your account number and your payment method — cash, check, or card. Some locations may have restrictions on which payment methods they accept, so call ahead if you want to confirm.

What to do if you can't pay on time

If you know you'll miss your due date, contact Phoenix Water Services before the bill is late. You may be able to arrange a payment plan or extension. Call 602-262-6251 to discuss your options.

Late payments result in a late fee added to your bill. If your account falls significantly behind, the city may shut off your water service. Paying as soon as you can after the due date is better than not paying at all, and contacting the city early gives you more options.
