Pay Your Jefferson Parish Water Bill Through Paystar, Call the Right Office, or Report an Emergency

Jefferson Parish utility customers should not use the EPA WaterSense link or the generic phone number that appeared on the old version of this page. The correct online payment path is Jefferson Parish’s official Paystar system for Utility Services bills.

Use this guide to pay online, create a Paystar account, use the phone system, find drop-box locations, mail a payment, apply for new service, schedule a utility appointment, report a problem, or call the correct East Bank or West Bank after-hours emergency line.

Important correction: Jefferson Parish utility payments should be made through official Jefferson Parish / Paystar resources. Do not use an EPA WaterSense page, a generic “Jefferson Rish” listing, or a random third-party bill-pay result to pay this bill.

How to Pay Your Jefferson Parish Water / Utility Bill Online

Jefferson Parish uses Paystar for online utility payments. The official Paystar portal says it is the official payment vendor for Jefferson Parish, and the Parish Paystar page says customers can quickly find their utility account and balance using details from the bill.

  1. Open the official Paystar payment site.
    Start here: Pay Jefferson Parish Online.
  2. Select Utility Department or Pay Utility Bill.
    Make sure you are paying a Jefferson Parish Utility Services bill, not another parish department fee.
  3. Enter your account number from the bill.
    The payer guide says the account number is listed at the top of your utility bill. If you cannot find a past bill or do not know your account number, call (504) 736-6060.
  4. Review the account and balance.
    Check the name, service address, balance and department before submitting payment.
  5. Save your receipt.
    Keep the confirmation number, receipt email or screenshot until the payment appears on your account.
Payment safety tip: If you searched from Google, check that the payment page is Paystar or directly linked by jeffparish.gov. Avoid doxo-style third-party pages unless you intentionally choose them and understand posting/fee risks.

Report Water Problems, No Running Water or Broken Water Lines

Jefferson Parish separates normal customer service from after-hours emergency reporting. During business hours, use the Utility Customer Service line for new service, turning water on or off, leaks, billing problems and website issues. After hours, use the correct East Bank or West Bank emergency line only for urgent water problems.

Problem type
Who to contact
Best practical action
During business hours
Use for new services, turning water on/off, leaks, bill problems, service problems and website issues.
East Bank after-hours emergency
Use only for urgent issues such as no running water or broken water line after hours.
West Bank after-hours emergency
Use only for urgent West Bank after-hours water problems.
Service interruption not on map
Check the water service interruption map first, then report if it is not listed.
Boil advisory note: Jefferson Parish says not every outage requires a boil water advisory. If an outage makes water potentially unsafe, the Water Department issues a precautionary boil water advisory and indicates it on official resources.

High Jefferson Parish Utility Bill or Possible Meter Issue

A high utility bill may be caused by water consumption, a leak, a wrong assumption about sewer/garbage charges, an abnormal meter reading, delayed payment posting or account history confusion. Jefferson Parish provides tools that can help before you call.

Use the bill calculator The official calculator asks for your account number and consumption in thousands of gallons.
Check abnormal meter photos Jefferson Parish links to abnormal meter read photos as a utility resource.
Look for a leak Running toilets, slab leaks, irrigation and service line leaks can raise water usage.
Compare service periods A longer billing period can make the total look higher even if daily use is similar.
Check payment history Use Paystar history if you created an account, or call customer service for posting concerns.
Schedule an appointment For billing disputes, Jefferson Parish offers online utility services appointment scheduling.

Have this ready before calling Utility Services

  • Account number from the top of your utility bill.
  • Service address and account holder name.
  • Current bill and previous bill.
