Make an Online Payment 

If the payment window does not open, turn off your pop-up blocker.

Payments received BEFORE 5:00 pm will be given same day credit to the water account. Payments received AFTER 5:00 pm will be processed the next business day.

Auto Pay

If you prefer to have your bill automatically paid using your checking or savings account or a credit or debit card (we can process Visa, Mastercard and Discover), please enroll in our convenient Auto-Pay service and the full amount of your bill will be automatically deducted from your bank account on the due date listed on your bill.

The customer is responsible for updating the Customer Portal with current payment information.

To update payment information, once you have logged into your account on the Customer Portal, click the “My Profile” button from the top, and select “Payment Options” from the pop-up menu. From there, you can add, edit, and delete payment methods.

How to Enroll

To enroll in autopay, you’ll need to register an account on our customer portal. Once you’ve registered your account, you’ll have the option to register for autopay, as well as paperless billing. Please note that registering for autopay is a two-step process- once you complete the online portion through the customer service, you will receive a confirmation email. You must open the email and click the confirmation link in the email before autopay will activate on your account.

If your payment through the autopay service is returned or declined, you will be notified via email, and late fees and returned payment fees may apply. If payment has not been made by the late fee date, a second notice will be mailed. Disconnection of service for non-payment will apply if your bill has not been paid by the disconnect date on the second notice.

The customer is responsible for keeping their payment information on the Customer Portal current.

You can call the SJWTX office staff for help updating portal information at 512-710-9405 between 9:00 am -2:00 pm, Monday – Friday if you require assistance.
