How to Pay Your City of Hialeah Water Bill Online

The City of Hialeah says it has paired with Xpress Bill Pay to process online payments for Water & Sewer and Solid Waste bills. If this is your first time using the online system, you need to register before you can return with your username and password.

  1. Open the official City payment page.
    Start here: City of Hialeah Make Payments for Public Works.

    Use the payment link provided by the City, not a search-result payment page that is not clearly connected to Hialeah.

    Create your Xpress Bill Pay login, then return with your username and password for future payments.
  4. Review your account before paying.
    Check account number, name, service address, current balance, due date and payment amount.
  5. Save confirmation.
    Keep your payment receipt, confirmation number or screenshot until the payment posts to your account.
Important: If you are paying because of service interruption or a late balance, do not stop at the online receipt. Call customer service after payment so the City can verify payment and restoration steps.

How to Check a Hialeah Water Bill Account Balance

Hialeah’s account balance page gives two main options: register the account online or use the customer service phone system. The phone system uses your account number split into the first six digits and the three digits to the right of the dash.

  1. Keep your bill in front of you.
    You need the account number exactly as printed on your Water & Sewer bill.
  2. Call the customer service center.
    Dial 305-556-3800.
  3. Select your preferred language.
    Follow the automated system prompts.
  4. Press option 2 for Pay by Phone.
    Enter the first six digits of your account number, then the three digits to the right of the dash.
  5. Decide whether to pay or hang up after balance.
    The City says you can hang up after receiving the balance or continue to pay by phone, which requires a fee.
Useful tip: If the account balance sounds different from your bill, call and press option 4 to speak with Water & Sewer customer service before paying.

Water Service Interruption in Hialeah: Reconnection Steps

If your Hialeah water service was interrupted for non-payment, the City lists a specific reconnection process. This is not the same as paying a normal monthly bill.

Call first: Dial 305-556-3800, press option 4, and speak to a customer service representative to obtain the account balance due.
  1. Confirm the exact balance due.
    Do not pay only the amount from an old bill if fees or service charges may have changed the balance.
  2. Pay the outstanding balance plus the service fee.
    The City’s service interruption page lists an outstanding balance plus a $75 service fee. Additional fees may apply.
  3. Call customer service after payment.
    If payment has already been made, call 305-556-3800 and press option 4 so payment can be verified.
  4. Ask about restoration timing.
    The City says once payment is verified, service will be restored within 24 hours.
  5. Keep proof ready.
    Save payment confirmation, receipt, date paid and method used in case customer service asks for verification.
Do not assume instant restoration: A payment receipt alone does not mean service is automatically back on. The City instructs customers to call for payment verification.

City of Hialeah Water Bill Payment Plan Options

Hialeah has payment plan guidance for customers who need time to pay. The person requesting the plan must be the account holder or be assigned as in care of the account holder.

  1. Confirm account status first.
    Call 305-556-3800 and ask for the current balance and payment plan eligibility.
  2. Make sure the right person calls.
    The City says the requester must be the account holder or assigned as in care of the account holder.
  3. Ask about the required down payment.
    Hialeah says customers may be required to make a down payment plus monthly installments.
  4. Understand monthly responsibility.
    The City says customers remain responsible for arranged plan payments and regular monthly bills.
  5. Write down the plan terms.
    Keep the down payment amount, installment count, due dates and customer service instructions.
Best timing: Ask for a payment plan before disconnection. Waiting until service is interrupted can add reconnection fees and make the problem more expensive.
