How to Pay Your Water Bill in Lee’s Summit

Paying your water bill is an essential part of being a resident in Lee’s Summit. Our city relies on receiving payment for water services in order to maintain and improve our water system infrastructure. At my home, paying the water bill is a regular routine – and the city offers several convenient ways to pay your bill.

In this article, I’ll give you an overview of Lee’s Summit water billing and provide a step-by-step walkthrough of the different payment options. Whether you prefer to pay online, by mail, over the phone, or in person, Lee’s Summit has a payment method that will work for you.

Lee’s Summit Water Billing Overview

The City of Lee’s Summit provides water service to residents and charges for this service on a monthly billing cycle. Water meters are read around the 15th of each month, and bills are sent out soon after.

Payment for the previous month’s water usage is due by the 10th of the following month. For example, the bill for March water usage would be due on April 10th.

If payment is not received by the due date, a late fee of 5% is added to the outstanding balance. The city does not allow Arrangements for past due bills on accounts that have been shut off.

Bills include charges for water usage as well as a fixed monthly fee. The fixed fee covers some of the operational costs of the water system. Rates are approved by City Council and adjusted periodically.
