Hawthorne Water Utility Quick Facts

Start Here: Which Hawthorne Water Situation Matches You?

Hawthorne water billing can be confusing because two official water providers are listed by the City. Pick the situation below before you open a payment page.

How to Know Whether to Pay Golden State Water or Cal Water

Before paying, look at the company name printed on your bill. This matters because Golden State Water and California Water Service are different companies with different portals, account systems, payment options and customer support.

If Your Hawthorne Bill Says Golden State Water

Golden State Water is one of the water utilities listed by the City of Hawthorne. Use Golden State Water resources if the bill, account portal or customer service information on your statement says Golden State Water or MyGSWater.

1. Open the official Golden State Water payment page.
   Start here: Golden State Water Pay Your Bill.
2. Use MyGSWater if you want account features.
   The official site links to MyGSWater for account access, payment and customer tools.
3. Check the bill details.
   Confirm service address, account number, balance and due date before submitting payment.
4. Call if you need help.
   The City of Hawthorne Resident Resources page lists Golden State Water at 800-999-4033.
5. Save payment proof.
   Keep the receipt, confirmation email or screenshot until payment appears on your account.

If Your Hawthorne Bill Says California Water Service or Cal Water

California Water Service is also listed by the City of Hawthorne as a water utility contact. Cal Water offers online account payment, one-time payment, phone payment, mail payment, Automatic Payment Service, Walmart Bill Pay, Western Union and paperless billing options.

1. Open Cal Water’s official payment options page.
   Start here: Cal Water Payment Options.
2. Choose portal or one-time payment.
   Cal Water says customers can enroll in the customer portal or make a one-time payment without an online account.
3. Use pay-by-phone if needed.
   Cal Water lists 888-598-9824 for phone payments using a bank account or accepted cards.
4. Mail payment only when not urgent.
   Cal Water lists mail payment to California Water Service, P.O. Box 7229, San Francisco, CA 94120-7229. Include your account number and do not send cash.
5. Use AutoPay if you want fewer missed due dates.
   Cal Water’s Automatic Payment Service deducts the amount owed from a checking or savings account each month.

Payment Options by Provider

Use this table after you confirm the provider name printed on your bill.

Start, Stop or Transfer Water Service in Hawthorne

Since Hawthorne water service may be handled by different providers, the first step is not a city form. It is confirming which provider serves the address.

1. Ask the landlord, seller or property manager for the provider name.
   Look for an old bill or account transfer instruction.
2. Check the City utility list.
   Hawthorne lists Golden State Water and California Water Service under water utility information.
3. Call the provider before move-in.
   Contact Golden State Water or Cal Water with the service address and requested start date.
4. Prepare documents.
   Have your ID, contact details, mailing address, lease/closing date and service address ready.
5. Stop service before moving out.
   Confirm final bill, forwarding address and final service date with the provider printed on your bill.

Leak, No Water or Emergency in Hawthorne: Who to Call

For water emergencies, call the company printed on your bill. A city permit payment page or unrelated “water department” article will not dispatch a crew.
