Pay Your Clovis Water Bill, Start Service, or Report a City-Side Water Leak
City of Clovis utility billing and City water operations are not the same office. Billing, payment and account questions go through Finance / Utility Billing. City-side water leaks and water main issues go through Public Utilities.
This replacement guide fixes that confusion and gives Clovis residents a practical path for paying online, paying by phone, starting or stopping service, setting up automatic bill payment, checking a high bill and knowing who to call for a water leak.
Choose the Clovis Utility Task You Need
A Clovis water bill search can mean payment, service setup, automatic draft, leak reporting, refuse/sewer billing, or a high bill. Pick the right route before calling the wrong department.

- Notes about irrigation, outdoor water use, guests, move-in date or new-service setup.
Billing Number vs Public Utilities Number: Do Not Mix These Up
The older article pushed the Public Utilities number as the main billing number. A better Clovis-specific guide should separate payment support from water operations.
