Ways to Pay Your Loveland Water and Power Bill Online
Loveland Water and Power offers three main options for paying your bill online:
- Recurring automatic payments
- One-time online payments
- PayNearMe online payments
Below we’ll explore each of these options in more detail, so you can choose the best payment method for your needs
Set Up Recurring Automatic Payments
The easiest way to pay your Loveland Water and Power bill is to enroll in recurring automatic payments. This allows the utility company to automatically withdraw your payment each month from a credit card or bank account.
To set up automatic bill pay, simply log into your online account and navigate to the “My Bill” section. Here you’ll find a link to enroll in auto-pay. You can choose the account you’d like payments withdrawn from, and specify the date each month that you’d like the bill paid.
Once enrolled, you don’t need to do anything further. Your payment will be automatically deducted each billing cycle. You’ll still receive a monthly bill for your records, but no action is required on your part to pay it.
Recurring automatic payments ensure your bill is paid on time each month, avoiding any late fees. It also saves you the effort of having to manually make a payment every month. Auto-pay is the most convenient way to pay a Loveland utility bill.
Make One-Time Online Payments
If you prefer not to enroll in automatic payments, Loveland Water and Power does allow you to make one-time online payments from your online account. You have the flexibility to log in and pay each bill manually as you choose.
To make a one-time payment, log into your account and navigate to the payment options under “My Bill”. Here you can enter your credit card or bank account information to make an immediate payment. You’ll receive a confirmation email with your payment details once the transaction is completed.
One-time online payments give you more control than auto-pay since you initiate each payment yourself. However, it does require you to remember to pay each month, so it’s easier to accidentally miss a payment. But if you don’t want payments automatically withdrawn, one-time online payments are a convenient option.
Use PayNearMe for Online & Cash Payments
In addition to credit card and bank account payments, Loveland Water and Power also offers the ability to pay your bill online through PayNearMe. This service allows you to pay your bill at over 27,000 retail locations across the country that accept PayNearMe transactions.
To use PayNearMe, you’ll first need to create an account on their website and link it to your Loveland Water and Power account. Once linked, you can make payments at participating 7-Eleven, CVS Pharmacy, Dollar General, and other retailers. PayNearMe also allows cash payments for those without bank accounts.
There are a couple benefits to using PayNearMe for online bill pay:
- Make payments without entering financial information online
- Pay with cash if you don’t have a bank account
The drawback is you do have to make a trip to the store to complete the transaction. However, if you prefer not to pay online directly this gives you an easy in-person payment option.

Loveland Library – 300 N Adams Ave
Payments can be made by cash, check, money order, or credit/debit card at these locations during open office hours. This is a fine option if you would rather pay in person than online.
However, in-person payments do require you to make a trip to a city office each month. The online payment options can save you time by allowing you to pay from anywhere, 24/7. But the choice is yours based on your preferences for paying city utility bills.
Don’t Get Hit With Late Fees – Pay On Time
However you choose to pay your Loveland Water and Power bill, the most important thing is to pay by the due date each month and avoid late fees. Utility bills are already expensive enough without tacking on extra charges for late payments.
Due dates are clearly printed on each monthly statement. If you’ve signed up for paperless billing, due dates are prominently displayed in online account notifications. Be sure to make note of the deadline each month and pay accordingly to sidestep late fees.
Setting up automatic payments is the best way to prevent late payments. Recurring auto-pay means every bill gets paid on the same date every month, so you never have to think about it. But if making manual payments, just be diligent about paying by the due date.

The convenience of paying on your schedule from home makes online payments the logical choice over mailing in checks or visiting city offices.
