Pay By Mail
If you prefer to pay your bill by check or money order, you can mail your payment to:
Widefield Water and Sanitation District
8495 Fontaine Blvd.
Colorado Springs, CO 80925
Please allow 3-5 business days for your mailed payment to reach them and be applied to your account. Include your 10-digit account number on the check or money order so it gets credited properly.
I mail my payment when I’m sending multiple checks out that day and can include my Widefield water bill in the stack. Just remember to allow enough time before the due date.
Pay In Person
You can also pay your Widefield water bill in person at the District Office located at:
8495 Fontaine Blvd.
Colorado Springs, CO 80925
Their office hours are Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm. When paying in person, you can pay by cash, check, money order, or credit/debit card. There is a convenience fee for credit card payments.
I go to the office to pay in person when I want to talk directly with a customer service rep about my account or if I missed the online payment deadline. The staff is always friendly and helpful.
Avoid Late Fees
To avoid getting hit with late fees, make sure to pay your Widefield water bill by the due date each month.
- Bills for West service area are due the 5th of the month.
- Bills for Central service area are due the 23rd of the month.
- Bills for East service area are due the 20th of the month.
If your payment is late, you’ll be charged a penalty of $15 or 5% of the unpaid balance, whichever is greater. And if your account remains delinquent for 30 days, your water service could be shut off.
I recommend signing up for paperless billing so you get an email reminder before your bill is due. It helps prevent me from forgetting when my Widefield water payment is due each month.
Review Your Water Usage
When you log into your online account at www.wwsdonline.com, you can view your water usage for the past 12 months. It will show your usage in gallons or cubic feet for each monthly billing period.
Checking your usage regularly allows you to spot any spikes or unusual increases that could indicate a leak. Catching leaks early prevents thousands of gallons of water waste and can save you money on your bill.
I like being able to monitor my monthly water usage online. It helps me identify if I need to adjust my watering schedule or household habits to conserve more.
Sign Up For Auto Pay
The most convenient option is to enroll in auto pay for your Widefield water account. This automatically deducts your payment from your bank account each month.
To enroll in auto pay:
- Download the auto pay form from www.wwsdonline.com
- Fill out the form with your account and bank details
- Mail or drop off the form at the District Office
Once enrolled, you don’t have to do anything further. Your payment will automatically be deducted on the due date each month.
I love auto pay because it ensures my Widefield water bill gets paid on time without me having to remember. One less bill to keep track of!
