How to Pay a Fort Worth Water Bill Online

High Fort Worth Water Bill: What to Check Before Calling
A high Fort Worth water bill is not always a billing error. MyH2O can help because customers can review previous-day usage in hourly increments and look for continuous flow that may indicate a leak. If a repairable leak caused high use, Fort Worth also has high water-use adjustment rules.
Leak adjustment basics
Fort Worth says eligible leak adjustments may cover up to two consecutive billing periods affected by the leak and may equal 50 percent of the difference above average water use. It can take up to two billing cycles after repair to confirm usage returned to average.
- Do not wait to repair the leak before asking about adjustment requirements.
- Keep plumber invoices, parts receipts, photos and repair dates.
- Continue paying required amounts unless customer service gives other instructions.
- Ask whether your account is eligible before assuming a credit will apply.
- Remember that adjustment credits are not always immediate.
