Please allow 5-7 business days for mailed payments to be received and processed. Include your payment stub to ensure proper crediting to your account.

Pay in Person

For personalized service, NAWSC customers can pay their water bill in person at several locations:

• 24/7 night drop box at NAWSC headquarters

Paying in person allows you to get assistance from NAWSC representatives and other payment agents. You can pay by cash, check, money order or credit/debit card.

Recurring Auto-Pay

For automated, hassle-free bill payment each month, North Alamo Water offers an auto-pay option. This authorizes NAWSC to automatically withdraw your monthly bill amount from your checking or savings account on the due date.

To set up recurring auto-pay:

• Download the auto-pay enrollment form from the NAWSC website

• Complete the form with your account and bank details

• Attach a voided check and submit to NAWSC

Once established, your bill will be paid on time automatically each month. You can cancel at any time with written notice. Auto-pay saves you time and gives peace of mind.

Understanding Your Water Bill

When paying your NAWSC bill on time every month, it helps to understand key aspects like billing cycles, due dates, and late fees:

• Bills are issued monthly and are typically due around the 25th of each month

• Payment must be received by the due date to avoid late fees

• A 10% late fee applies if payment is not received by the due date

• Accounts are subject to disconnection if a bill is more than 30 days past due

• Weekends and holidays do not extend the due date

Paying attention to due dates and allowing processing time for your chosen payment method will help avoid late payments and service disruption. Contact NAWSC immediately if you are struggling to pay a bill by the due date.

Payment Arrangements and Assistance Programs

North Alamo Water understands financial hardship can occur unexpectedly. If you cannot pay a past due balance in full, payment arrangements can be established. NAWSC also offers bill assistance programs for qualifying low-income customers, including:

• Lifeline Discount Program – Reduced rates for older adults or disabled customers

• Payment Assistance Program – Partial bill credits based on income level

• Bill Round Up Program – Voluntarily round up your bill to help others in need

Contact NAWSC to learn more about bill assistance options if you are struggling to pay your bill in a given month.

Avoid Insufficient Funds Fees

If a payment made to NAWSC is returned due to insufficient funds, a $25 fee will be charged to your account. Avoid this fee by ensuring sufficient funds when paying by check, auto-pay, or other electronic means. Monitor your account to be sure payments clear as expected.

Protect Your Water Service

To avoid service disruption, make sure your NAWSC bill is paid in full by the due date each month. If your account becomes more than 30 days past due, your water service may be disconnected. A $50 disconnection fee and $50 reconnection fee will also apply. Protect your water service by paying on time.
