  1. Start from the official payment options page.
    Use the official page here: Leavenworth Waterworks Payment Options.
  2. Open the online payment portal.
    Leavenworth Waterworks links customers to its online utility billing payment portal for credit card or bank account payments.
  3. Confirm your account before paying.
    Check your account name, service address, amount due, and any past-due balance. If something looks wrong, call 913-682-1513 before paying.
  4. Choose the payment method carefully.
    Online payment can be useful for speed, but always review the portal screen for any processing notice before submitting.
  5. Save your payment proof.
    Keep a confirmation number, email receipt, screenshot, bank/card record, or payment portal confirmation until the payment posts.

  • Phone number where customer service can reach you if there is a problem.
  • Any confirmation or prior payment proof if you are asking about a payment issue.

Automatic payments are helpful if you want fewer due-date problems. Leavenworth Waterworks says customers can enroll through the online payment portal or at the drive-up window with an authorization form and a voided check.

  1. Decide whether online or drive-up enrollment is better.
    Use online enrollment if you are comfortable managing your account online. Use the drive-up window if you want in-person help.
  2. Prepare your account information.
    Keep your current bill, account number, service address, and payment account details ready.
  3. Provide the required authorization.
    If enrolling at the drive-up window, prepare the authorization form and voided check as required.
  4. Keep paying until you confirm it is active.
    Do not assume automatic payments start immediately. Watch the next bill or call to confirm.
  5. Update Waterworks if your bank account changes.
    A closed account, expired payment method, or changed bank can cause missed payments.

Start, Transfer or Stop Leavenworth Water Service

If you are moving into Leavenworth, moving out, changing tenants, or transferring service, handle the water account before the move date. Same-day service requests can become stressful if account documents, final bills, or ownership/rental details are missing.

Need
Where to start
Prepare before contacting Waterworks
Start or transfer service
Service address, start date, customer contact details, ID if required, and billing information.
Stop service
Account number, stop date, forwarding address, and final payment plan.
Moving between local addresses
Contact Waterworks before your move date.
Old address, new address, move date, account holder details and contact number.
Landlord/tenant change
Clarify account responsibility before the lease date.
Lease date, responsible party, owner/tenant details and service address.
Move timing tip: Contact Waterworks before closing day or move-in day. It is easier to correct account details before service is transferred than after a bill is already issued.

Sewer Charges, Trash Charges and Who to Call

Leavenworth bills can include charges that are connected to city services outside normal water customer service. Leavenworth Waterworks specifically points customers to different city contacts for sewer charge and refuse/trash charge questions.

Question type
Correct contact
When to use it
Water account, payment, service, Waterworks bill
Account balance, payment posting, start/stop service, water payment options, water service questions.
Sewer charge questions
Questions specifically about sewer charges on the bill.
Refuse/trash charge questions
Trash, refuse, service center, or solid waste charge questions.
Senior rebate program
Questions about the City of Leavenworth Senior Rebate Program.
Useful rule: If the issue is about water service or payment, start with Waterworks. If it is about sewer charges, trash charges, or the senior rebate program, use the related city contact.

Late Payment, Disconnection or Urgent Payment Situation

If your account is late or service may be at risk, the best action is to contact Waterworks before relying on slow mail or an after-hours drop box. A faster payment method plus direct confirmation can prevent confusion.

  1. Read the notice carefully.
    Look for account number, due amount, deadline, service address, and any disconnection or reconnection instructions.
  2. Call Waterworks if you are unsure.
    Contact 913-682-1513 to confirm the balance and best payment method.
  3. Use online or phone payment for faster proof.
    If the payment is urgent, a mailed check or drop box payment may not be the safest method.
  4. Save confirmation.
    Keep payment proof until Waterworks confirms the payment is posted.
  5. Ask about the next step if service is already affected.
    Do not assume payment alone instantly resolves every account status issue.
Urgent reminder: If water service is affected or a deadline is close, call first. Account-specific instructions from Waterworks are more important than generic online advice.

High Leavenworth Water Bill Checklist

A higher-than-normal Leavenworth water bill may come from actual water use, a toilet leak, outdoor watering, a service line leak, a billing period change, or sewer/refuse charges that are separate from water use. Use this checklist before calling so you can explain the issue clearly.

Toilet leak Running toilets can waste water quietly. Try a dye test or listen for repeated refilling.
Outdoor water use Check hoses, sprinklers, irrigation valves, pools, gardens, and outdoor spigots.
Service line issue Look for wet ground, unexplained soft spots, basement dampness, or water near the meter area.
Billing components Separate water, sewer, trash, or city-related charges before assuming the water usage is wrong.
Account history Compare the current bill with past months to see if the spike is one-time or ongoing.
Repair proof Keep invoices, photos, parts receipts, and repair dates if you find a leak.

Have this ready before calling

  • Current bill and previous bill.
  • Account number and service address.
  • Payment confirmation if you recently paid.
  • Date the high usage or issue started.
  • Leak repair receipt, plumber invoice, photos, or parts receipt.
  • Notes about irrigation, guests, new tenants, outdoor watering, or appliance changes.
