Cedar Hill Water Department – Pay Bill, Contact & Services Guide

Choose the Cedar Hill Utility Task You Need

Not every water bill problem should go through the same path. A normal payment, a service request, a leak adjustment, a sewer recalculation and an emergency water shutoff all require different steps.

How to Pay Your Cedar Hill Water Bill Online

Cedar Hill’s official Online Payments page says you can pay your water/sewer bill by credit card or debit card and that you need your account number from your monthly statement. The WaterSmart Customer Portal gives broader account management options.

1. Open the official Cedar Hill online payment page.
   Start here: Cedar Hill Online Payments / WaterSmart Customer Portal.
2. Have your account number ready.
   Use the account number from your monthly statement. Do not guess from an older bill if your account changed.
3. Choose payment or account management.
   Use online payment for a quick payment, or register in the WaterSmart portal if you want account information, service requests, usage tools and payment management.
4. Check the full balance.
   Review water and sewer charges separately before submitting payment.
5. Save proof.
   Keep your confirmation number, receipt email or screenshot until the payment appears on your account.

Use the 24/7 Cedar Hill Utility Payment Kiosk

Cedar Hill offers a utility payment kiosk in the Cedar Hill Police Department lobby. The City says it is available 24/7, is free to use and accepts cash, checks or credit cards.

Bank Bill Pay and Check Payments for Cedar Hill Utilities

Cedar Hill’s Bill Pay & Check Payments page says customers may pay through a personal bank account by providing the bank with the correct billing information. This is useful for people who prefer bank bill pay instead of entering card details on a portal.

1. Use the full customer and account numbers.
   The City says to enter your customer and account numbers with all zeros.
2. Use the correct mailing address.
   City of Cedar Hill – Utility Services, 285 Uptown Blvd, Building #100, Cedar Hill, TX 75104.
3. Allow enough delivery time.
   Bank bill pay may send a mailed check depending on your bank. Do not use it for urgent last-minute payment unless you confirm timing.
4. Check account posting.
   Watch your utility account or call Utility Billing if the payment does not appear.

Payment Options Compared: Which Cedar Hill Method Should You Use?

The best payment method depends on timing, payment type and whether you need account help.

After-Hours Water or Sewer Emergency in Cedar Hill

Utility Billing handles account and bill questions during business hours. Water or sewer emergencies are different. The City lists after-hours water/sewer emergency service at 972-780-6643.

   If you need help with a bill, payment, service account or normal service question, call 469-272-2931.

   If you cannot shut off the water or there is an urgent water/sewer issue after hours, call the after-hours number.

   Emergency response and bill adjustment questions are separate. Handle safety first.

High Cedar Hill Water or Sewer Bill Checklist

A high bill may come from real usage, a leak, sewer billing, a billing-cycle change, irrigation, a running toilet or an account/payment issue. Cedar Hill’s WaterSmart portal and water consumption alert resources can help customers spot abnormal usage sooner.

Have this ready before contacting Utility Billing

• Current bill and previous bill.
• Account number and service address.
• WaterSmart usage or alert details, if available.
• Payment confirmation if you recently paid.
• Leak repair receipt, plumber invoice, parts receipt or photos if a leak was repaired.
• Notes about irrigation, guests, new tenants, outdoor watering or appliance changes.

Water Leak Adjustment to Bill in Cedar Hill

Cedar Hill has an official Water Leak Adjustment to Bill page. This is important because a repaired leak may affect your bill, but adjustment rules usually require proof and review.

1. Find and stop the leak first.
   Common sources include toilets, irrigation lines, water heaters, outdoor spigots and appliance supply lines.
2. Repair the leak and keep proof.
   Save plumber invoices, parts receipts, repair photos and repair dates.
3. Review Cedar Hill’s official leak adjustment page.
   Open Water Leak Adjustment to Bill.
4. Contact Utility Services.
   Call 469-272-2931 or email ubilling@cedarhilltx.com.
5. Keep watching usage.
   Use portal tools and consumption alerts so you know whether the leak is truly fixed.

New Residential Sewer Fee Recalculation

Cedar Hill has a useful rule for new residential accounts: after three full billing cycles, customers can request recalculation of the monthly sewer fee based on three months of consumption history. If the recalculation lowers the monthly sewer fee, the City says the new fee can be retroactively applied from when the account opened and the account can receive a credit for the overpaid amount.

• Save your first three full bills after opening service.
• Compare water consumption across those months.
• Ask Utility Billing whether recalculation applies to your account.
• Keep any email or confirmation about recalculation and credit.
