Bill Payment

Southside Public Water Authority offers a wide variety of convenient payment options for our customers. Simply choose the option that best suits your needs.

 

Payment By Check, Debit Card, or Credit Card Online

We have partnered with Nexbillpay to extend an additional payment option for customers interested in using their check, debit card, or credit card to pay their bill. Nexbillpay is a trusted third party automated payment service that allows you to pay your bill online. Please allow 24 to 48 hours for payments to be processed.

• Bill payments can be made at any time, 24/7/365.
• You will need your account number from your printed billing statement to complete your bill payment. You may request your account number by calling our office at 870-251-2508.
• Nexbillpay charges a small service fee for each transaction.
• Nexbillpay accepts Visa, Mastercard, AmEx and Discover.
• If asked for validation, please enter only the LAST NAME that is associated with your account.

Please note: If you have moved to another location on our system, you WILL have a NEW ACCOUNT NUMBER. If you continue making payments using your old account number, payments may not be placed on the correct account. 

Also, all current bills are due on the 20th of the month. Although new bills are not mailed until the end of each month, they will show up on your online account on the 21st so you may see a larger balance when paying after the 20th. Please pay the amount due on your bill or call our office and we can tell you the correct amount.

***IF YOU HAVE BEEN DISCONNECTED, YOU MUST CALL OUR OFFICE BEFORE MAKING A PAYMENT ONLINE TO FIND OUT THE CORRECT AMOUNT TO BE PAID IN ORDER TO HAVE YOUR WATER SERVICE RESTORED. IF THE CORRECT AMOUNT IS NOT PAID, YOUR SERVICE WILL NOT BE RESTORED UNTIL REMAINING BALANCE IS PAID. ALSO, YOU MUST CALL OUR OFFICE TO LET US KNOW THAT YOU MADE A PAYMENT. WE WILL NOT KNOW TO RECONNECT YOUR SERVICE UNLESS YOU SPEAK WITH US.***

Payment Through Financial Institution Online Bill Pay

Many financial institutions such as major banks offer their customers the ability to pay their bills via an online bill payment service (through your bank's website). Normally, these services debit the customer's checking or savings account to pay the bill. Depending on the financial institution, they may or may not charge a fee for the service. Payments may take up to seven business days to post to the customer's account. Please consult with your bank for more information.

There is a $30.00 return check fee for any account that receives a return check or return draft. Once notice of a returned check is received in our office, we will mail you a letter giving you two weeks to take care of the amount of the check plus the $30.00 return check fee. If you do not take care of your return check by the date listed on your letter, your water service will be disconnected.
