Choose the EWSU Task You Need Right Now

Evansville Water and Sewer Utility has several payment and account tools. Picking the right path matters because a normal payment, disconnected-service payment, payment arrangement request, and emergency report are handled differently.

How to Pay Your Evansville Water and Sewer Utility Bill Online

For most customers, the easiest way to pay is through the official MyWater EWSU portal, the MyWater EWSU app, or the one-time payment option. EWSU says one-time online payment requires your account number and ZIP code, followed by payment information.

  1. Open the official MyWater EWSU payment option.
    Start here: open MyWater EWSU.
  2. Choose login or one-time payment.
    Log in if you already manage your EWSU account online. Use one-time payment if you only need to pay without changing account settings.
  3. Enter the correct account details.
    For one-time payment, have your account number and ZIP code ready. Do not guess if the property recently changed owners, tenants, or billing details.
  4. Select your payment method.
    EWSU says one-time online payment can use checking, savings, MasterCard, Visa, Discover, ATM card, or debit card.
  5. Save the payment confirmation.
    Keep the confirmation number and receipt until the payment posts. This matters most if you are close to a due date or disconnect deadline.
Payment timing note: EWSU says payments made before 4:00 PM post the next business day, while payments made after 4:00 PM post in two business days. Plan carefully if your bill is late.

Use MyWater, AutoPay, e-Billing and Text To Pay

EWSU’s online tools are useful if you want to stop searching for the payment link every month. MyWater and the MyWater EWSU app can help with recurring payments, paperless billing, Text To Pay, and payment reminders.

AutoPay setup path Create or sign into your MyWater account. EWSU says to go to My Account, choose Pay Bill Online, select Auto Pay, and complete the information. Open MyWater
e-Billing setup path EWSU says paperless billing can be turned on from My Account, Settings, Email, then Paperless Bill and Save. Read Ways to Pay

Before you turn on AutoPay

  • Confirm the account number belongs to your current address.
  • Check whether your old balance, current charges, or arrangement payments are separate.
  • Make sure your bank/card information will not expire before the next bill.
  • Keep the first automatic payment confirmation until you know the setup works.
  • If you are moving soon, ask how to stop or transfer service before enabling AutoPay.

Evansville Water Bill Kiosks, Pay Stations, Drop Box and In-Person Options

EWSU offers several ways to pay beyond the online portal. This is helpful if you need a cash option, want to use a bill payment kiosk, prefer an Old National Bank pay station, or need to visit the Customer Service office.

Disconnect Notice or Reconnect Service: What EWSU Customers Should Do

A disconnect notice is more urgent than a normal bill. EWSU says that after receiving a disconnect notice, customers must pay the water bill within 14 days or service will be disconnected. If you already know you cannot pay before the scheduled date, contact EWSU before that date.

Do not wait: Call EWSU Customer Service at 812-436-7846 Monday-Friday, 7:30 AM-4:00 PM if you received a disconnect notice or need reconnect instructions.
  1. Read the disconnect notice carefully.
    Look for the scheduled date, account number, required payment, and any instructions printed on the notice.
  2. Pay through an official EWSU method.
    Use MyWater, phone payment, kiosk, Customer Service office, or another official EWSU option.
  3. If using a payment arrangement form, allow processing time.
    EWSU says to allow two days before the disconnection date if using the online request form.
  4. After disconnected-service payment, provide confirmation.
    EWSU says disconnected customers should contact Customer Service and provide the payment confirmation number for further instructions.
  5. Ask what happens next.
    Do not assume water service reconnects instantly after payment. Ask about timing, instructions, and any remaining account requirements.

Payment Arrangements, Bill Relief and Assistance for Evansville Water Bills

If you are struggling to pay, EWSU points customers toward payment arrangements and customer support programs. The important part is timing: arrangements are easier before service is disconnected.

Payment arrangements EWSU says customers in good standing whose services have not been disconnected may qualify for payment arrangements. Request arrangement
Bill relief and support EWSU has customer support programs and also points customers to other payment assistance programs and community resources. Bill Relief Program

Before asking for help, prepare this

  • Your EWSU account number and service address.
  • The amount you can pay today.
  • The date you can make the next payment.
  • Any disconnect notice or past-due notice you received.
  • Proof of income or assistance documents if an assistance agency requests them.
  • A working phone number and email address for EWSU follow-up.
Important: A payment arrangement request is not the same as a guaranteed approval. Keep checking your account status and follow EWSU instructions exactly.

Water Line Break, Discolored Water or Sewer Emergency in Evansville

Emergency water and sewer problems should not wait for regular billing support. EWSU lists a separate emergency line for discolored water, water line breaks, and sewer emergencies at any time.

Emergency line: Call 812-421-2130 for discolored water, a water line break, or a sewer emergency.
  1. Call the emergency line first.
    Do not use a billing form or wait for a payment office if water damage, sewage backup, street flooding, or a main break is involved.
  2. Give the exact location.
    Provide street address, nearby intersection, landmark, and whether the issue is inside a property, in the street, or near a meter/hydrant.
  3. Stay away from unsafe water or sewage.
    Keep children and pets away. Avoid contact with sewage or standing water near electrical hazards.
  4. Take photos if safe.
    Photos can help your own documentation, but only if you can take them safely.
  5. Handle billing questions later.
    First report the emergency. Then contact Customer Service if the event affects your bill.

High Evansville Water Bill: Practical Checks Before You Call

A high EWSU bill can come from real water use, a hidden leak, irrigation, a running toilet, sewer-related charges, missed payment, or a payment that posted later than expected. EWSU also has account tools like water consumption reports, water usage tips, a bill calculator, leak adjustment resources, and customer support programs.

Check consumption reports Use MyWater to review statements and water consumption reports before calling.
Test toilets first A running toilet can waste a large amount of water quietly and is often easy to miss.
Look outside Check irrigation, outdoor faucets, hose bibs, pool fill lines, and wet spots in the yard.
Review payment timing Payments after 4:00 PM may take two business days to post, so do not pay twice without checking.
Ask about leak adjustment If a leak was repaired, check EWSU’s leak adjustment resources and keep repair proof.
Use bill calculator EWSU lists a bill calculator resource that can help users understand charge changes.

Information to gather before calling EWSU

  • Current bill and previous bill.
  • Account number, ZIP code and service address.
  • Payment confirmation if you recently paid.
  • Water consumption report or usage history from MyWater.
  • Date you noticed high usage.
  • Leak repair invoice, plumber receipt, photos or parts receipt.
  • Notes about irrigation, new tenants, guests, pool filling, outdoor cleaning or appliance changes.
