Clovis Water Bill – Pay Online, Login, Phone & Account Guide

Clovis CA Utility Billing Guide

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.

Important correction: Use 559-324-2130 for utility bill payment help. The older post used 559-324-2600 as the main bill number, but that number is better matched to Public Utilities and City-side water leak issues.
Start/stop service: Official City information says start or stop utility service requests may be received through the automated voice form system at 559-324-2115.
Billing / Payment 559-324-2130 Call and select option 2 for payment support.
Start / Stop Service 559-324-2115 Automated voice form system for utility service requests.
Public Utilities 559-324-2600 City water main or water service leak up to the meter.

High Clovis Water / Utility Bill Checklist

A high Clovis utility bill may be caused by water usage, sewer/refuse billing, irrigation, a leak, a billing period change, a payment posting issue or a new-service deposit. Check the full bill before assuming the water meter is wrong.

New service deposit Start service may add a $10 administrative fee and $150 refundable deposit to the first bill.
Running toilet A toilet can leak quietly and raise water usage without visible flooding.
Irrigation / outdoor water Check sprinklers, hoses, pools, garden lines and pressure washing.
City-side leak If the leak appears on a City main or service up to the meter, call Public Utilities.
Customer-side leak If the leak is after the meter, document the repair and contact billing if the bill was affected.
Payment posting Confirm the last payment posted before paying twice or assuming the bill is usage-only.

Have this ready before calling Clovis

  • Current bill and previous bill.
  • Utility account number and service address.
  • Payment confirmation if you recently paid.
  • Leak location: before meter, at meter, or after meter if known.

  • Notes about irrigation, outdoor water use, guests, move-in date or new-service setup.
