How to Pay Your Middlesex Water Bill Online, By Phone, or In Person

As a resident of New Jersey, I really value being able to get clean, reliable water from Middlesex Water Company. But when the water bill comes every month, it can be a pain to pay it. When mail is late, checks get lost, and you have to walk to a payment center, there has to be an easier way, right?

Well, the good news is Middlesex Water offers a few convenient billing and payment options. In this article I’ll outline the different ways to pay your Middlesex Water bill whether you prefer online phone, or in-person payments.

Paying Your Middlesex Water Bill Online

The fastest and most convenient way to pay your water bill is online through Middlesex Water’s website. Here are the steps to pay online:

• Go to www. middlesexwater. com and click on “Payment Options” at the top of the page.

• Select the “Pay Your Bill Online” button, This will direct you to the secure online payment portal

• If it’s your first time, register for an account by providing your account number, name, email address, and creating a password.

• Once registered, you can log back in anytime to view your balance and make a payment

• Enter your payment info including bank account or card details. Confirm your payment amount and submit.

Online payments are processed instantly, so you don’t have to worry about your payment getting lost or delayed. You’ll have peace of mind knowing your water bill is paid on time.

I like to schedule recurring payments online so I don’t have to manually pay each month. The online portal stores your payment method and automatically drafts the amount due on your scheduled date.

One tip is to enroll in paperless billing when paying online. You’ll receive an email notification when your bill is ready and avoid clutter from mailed paper statements.

Paying Your Middlesex Water Bill By Phone

If you prefer speaking to a live person, Middlesex Water also offers a pay-by-phone option.

To pay your water bill by phone:

• Call 1-877-386-6729. This toll-free customer service line is open 24/7.

• When prompted, enter your 10-digit Middlesex Water account number.

• Select the “Pay Bill” option and follow the voice instructions to make your payment.

• Have your credit card, debit card, or bank account info ready to enter for payment.

The automated phone system securely processes your payment and you’ll receive a confirmation number at the end. One thing I like about phoning in payments is the ability to check your account balance by selecting that option.

The Middlesex Water pay-by-phone line is super convenient for those months when I forget to schedule my online payment. As long as I call by 8 PM, my payment is credited the same day.

Paying Your Bill by Mail

If you prefer good old snail mail, Middlesex Water does accept check or money order payments sent to their processing center:

PO Box 826538

Philadelphia, PA 19182-6538

Just make your check or money order payable to Middlesex Water and include your 10-digit account number on the memo line.

While mailing a paper check does take more effort than electronic payments, I know some customers prefer this classic option. Sending via USPS certified mail gives you peace of mind that your payment arrives safely.

One drawback is processing mailed payments takes 3-5 business days. So make sure to mail your check well in advance of the due date to avoid late fees.

Paying in Person at CheckFreePay Locations

Middlesex Water also offers in-person payments through CheckFreePay retail locations. Here’s how it works:

• Find CheckFreePay payment center near you. Locations include CVS, 7-Eleven, Family Dollar stores.

• Take your paper bill with the payment stub and barcode. Cash, check, and debit/credit cards accepted.

• The clerk scans your barcode and collects payment. You’ll receive a receipt confirming the transaction.

• Payments made at CheckFreePay before 7 PM are credited to your Middlesex Water account same-day.

In-person CheckFreePay payments are great when you’ve missed the mail pickup or need same-day processing before the due date. And getting a payment receipt gives you confidence your bill is paid.

The only catch is having to find a CheckFreePay location and make a special trip. So I mostly stick to more convenient options like paying online or by phone.

Avoid Late Fees by Paying Before the Due Date

Here are some final tips to ensure on-time payments and avoid those pesky late fees:

• For online/phone payments, submit by 8 PM EST for same-day credit.

• For mailed checks, allow 5 business days for delivery and processing.

• For in-person payments, visit CheckFreePay locations before 7 PM for same-day processing.

• Set up text/email reminders through the online portal so your bill doesn’t slip your mind.

• Enroll in auto-pay to schedule payments automatically each month.

As long as you pay the total amount due before the due date listed on your statement, your account stays in good standing. Late fees are $10 for residential customers and 1.5% of the unpaid balance for commercial accounts.

Choose the Middlesex Water Payment Method That’s Best For You

When it comes to paying bills, one size does not fit all. That’s why Middlesex Water offers flexible billing and payment options.

Paying online is my personal favorite – it takes two minutes and I earn points on my credit card. But you may prefer phoning in, mailing payments, or visiting a retail location.

Choose the Middlesex Water payment option that fits your needs. Just be sure to pay the full amount due before the due date to avoid any late payment penalties. With multiple convenient payment methods, keeping your water account in good standing is easier than ever.
