A Comprehensive Guide to Paying Your Corinth Gas and Water Bill

As a long-time resident of Corinth, I’ve been paying my gas and water bill to Corinth Gas and Water for years. Over time I’ve tried every payment method they offer and figured out the ins and outs of ensuring my bill gets paid accurately and on time each month.

In this guide, I’ll share everything I’ve learned about the various ways to pay your Corinth Gas and Water utility bill. Whether you prefer automatic payments, online payments, phone payments, or mail-in payments, I’ve got you covered!

First, a quick overview of Corinth Gas and Water for those new to the area. This municipal utility provider supplies natural gas and water services to residents and businesses located in Corinth, Mississippi. They send out monthly utility bills that cover the cost of the gas and water services provided.

Corinth Gas and Water offers a few different payment options that I’ll outline in this article:

• Online credit/debit card payments
• Automatic bank draft
• Payments by phone
• Payments by mail
• Drop box payments
• In-person payments

Let’s dive into the details of each method!

Paying Online

The easiest and most convenient way to pay your Corinth Gas and Water bill is online through their customer portal. To access the portal, visit their website and click on the “Pay Bill” link

You can then log into your account securely using your account number and PIN. Once logged in, you can view your current bill amount and make a payment directly from your bank account or with a credit/debit card.

Payments made through the online portal are applied to your account automatically, so you don’t have to worry about delays with the mail. You’ll have instant confirmation that your payment went through successfully.

The online option is my personal go-to payment method because it’s fast, secure, and gives me peace of mind that my bill is paid on time. I highly recommend it for most customers.

Setting Up Automatic Bank Draft Payments

If you really want to set it and forget it when paying your utility bill, automatic bank draft is the way to go.

With bank draft, Corinth Gas and Water will automatically withdraw your monthly bill payment from your specified checking or savings account around the 15th of each month.

To enroll, you need to complete an authorization form and submit it to Corinth Gas and Water along with a voided check. The form allows you to designate the account you want your payments pulled from.

Once set up, you don’t have to do anything manually each month! The bill amount is deducted automatically. Just make sure to keep enough funds in your chosen account on bill payment day.

Cancelling bank draft requires submitting notice at least 10 business days before the next scheduled withdrawal, so keep that in mind.

Paying by Phone

For quick, one-off bill payments, the phone payment option gets the job done.

Simply call Corinth Gas and Water’s office at (662) 286-2263 and select the billing department option. Have your account number and payment details ready to provide.

You can make a payment over the phone using your bank account information or a credit/debit card. The payment posts to your account right away.

The phone method doesn’t require any pre-enrollment or lead time. But since you have to manually call each month, it lacks the ease and automation of online payments or bank draft.

Mailing in Your Payments

If you prefer old-school, mail-in bill payments, Corinth Gas and Water has you covered there too.

Each monthly bill includes a return payment envelope that you can use to mail back your check or money order. Make sure to include the bill stub from your statement so your payment gets applied properly.

Send your mailed payments to:

Corinth Gas and Water
P.O. Box 1870
Corinth, MS 38835-1870

Pay close attention to the due date on your bill, and mail your payment 3-4 days before that date to ensure it arrives on time. Payments are considered on time if they’re postmarked by the due date.

While doable, mailing payments takes more effort than automated options. I’d only use it as a backup option or if you really prefer writing physical checks.

Using the Drop Box

For a fast and easy in-person payment option, take advantage of the Corinth Gas and Water drop box.

The drop box is located right outside their office building at 305 West Waldron Street. You simply place your payment (check or money order) directly into the secure drop box slot anytime day or night.

Payments left in the drop box before 5:00pm each day get processed the same day. It’s quick and convenient without having to visit the office during business hours.

Just be aware that since the drop box is outside, you shouldn’t leave cash payments in it. Checks or money orders are safer.

Paying in Person

You can also make bill payments at the Corinth Gas and Water office in person. Their office is located at 305 W. Waldron Street in Corinth.

In-person payments can be made Monday through Friday from 8:00am to 5:00pm, besides holidays. You can pay with cash, check, money order, or credit/debit card when paying at the office.

This option is good if you happen to be running errands around that part of town and want to take care of your bill payment at the same time.

But for most folks, the online or automated methods are much more convenient than having to visit the office each month during a limited window.

Avoiding Late Fees and Disconnection

Now that we’ve covered the various payment methods Corinth Gas and Water offers, let’s talk about avoiding late fees and service disconnection.

It’s crucial to pay your bill in full and on time each month. If your payment isn’t received by the due date, you’ll incur a late fee penalty. Chronic late payments can eventually lead to shut off of your gas and water service, which obviously you want to prevent.

By setting up automated bank draft or sticking to online bill pay, you can avoid late fees altogether since the payment happens automatically.

If mailing payments, drop them off at least 3-4 days before the due date printed on your bill to account for mailing time. Pay attention to holidays when the mail doesn’t run.

And if you do end up falling behind, reach out to Corinth Gas and Water right away to discuss payment plan options before your service is disconnected. Communication goes a long way in working out solutions.

One Less Thing to Worry About

Paying bills isn’t glamorous, but it’s a necessary part of adulting. By understanding the various payment options with Corinth Gas and Water and setting up automated payments, you can cross utility bills off your mental to-do list.

One less thing to worry about each month! Reliable utility service with no late fees or disconnection threats makes home life so much smoother.

So try out some of these payment tips and see which method works best for your needs. We depend on water and gas every single day – it’s worth taking a few minutes to get the payment details squared away. Here’s to a streamlined bill paying process!
