Pay a Longview Water Bill, Use Quick Pay, or Report an After-Hours Water Emergency

How to Pay Your Longview Water Bill Online With Quick Pay

  1. Open the official Utility Access page.
    Start here: City of Longview Utility Access – Online Payment.
  2. Choose Quick Pay.

  5. Save proof before closing the page.
    Keep your confirmation number, receipt, email or screenshot until the payment appears on your account.
Payment safety note: Start from longviewtexas.gov before entering payment information. Do not rely on random third-party bill payment results if the payment is urgent or past due.

Billing questions and emergency water/sewer problems are different. If water or sewer service is actively causing damage, street flooding, sewer backup or safety risk, use the emergency hotline instead of waiting for normal billing hours.

After-hours emergency hotline: Call 903-236-3030. Some official directory resources also list 903-576-6767 as an after-hours water and sewer emergency option.

    Avoid sewage, flooded roadways, unstable ground and any area near electrical hazards.

    Photos or short videos may help later, but do not put yourself in danger.
  5. Handle billing after the emergency.
    Once the issue is controlled, gather repair proof and call Utility Billing Services if the event affects your bill.
