Pay Your Midland Water Bill, Track Usage, or Get Help Before the Balance Gets Worse

Midland water customers should use the City Utility Billing system for payments, account lookup, paperless billing, consumption history, threshold alerts, service transfers and billing questions. The most important correction is that current City Utility Billing details point to the Center Pointe office and 432-685-7320, not older water-department details.

This guide gives you the official payment route, customer service contacts, after-hours water issue number, payment plan steps, start/stop/transfer help, rate notes and high-bill checks.

Important correction: The current City Utility Billing office is listed at Center Pointe Building, 2nd floor, 1030 Andrews Highway, Suite 220, Midland, TX 79701. Do not rely on old articles that send customers only to 300 N. Loraine for utility billing.
Smart portal advantage: Midland’s utility billing system lets logged-in customers view consumption and billed usage, link multiple utility accounts, set thresholds/alerts and manage paperless billing.

How to Pay Your Midland TX Water Bill Online

The City Utility Billing System says customers can pay a bill without creating a login, or create a login to access additional account features. Use the official City route instead of third-party bill-pay pages that may charge extra or delay posting.

  1. Open the official City Utility Billing System page.
    Start here: Midland Utility Billing System.
  2. Choose one-time payment or login.
    If you only need to pay, use the no-login option. If you want consumption history, alerts, multiple accounts or paperless billing, create or use a portal login.
  3. Check the account details.
    Confirm account number, service address, bill amount, due date and payment method before submitting.
  4. Save payment proof.
    Keep the confirmation number, receipt email or screenshot until the payment appears on the account.
  5. Call if the account looks wrong.
    If the balance, address or usage does not match your latest bill, call 432-685-7320 before paying again.
Payment safety tip: Start from the official City of Midland website or utility billing portal. Avoid payment pages that do not clearly identify the City of Midland or the official utility billing system.

Why Midland Customers Should Consider Creating a Utility Portal Login

One-time payment is useful, but a portal login can help prevent future problems. Midland’s utility billing system lists features that are especially useful for high-bill prevention and multi-property account management.

Portal feature
Why it helps
Best use case
Pay without login
Fastest option when you only need to make a single payment.
Normal monthly bill payment.
Link multiple utility accounts
Lets owners, landlords or businesses manage more than one account under one login.
Multiple properties or business accounts.
View consumption and billed usage
Helps confirm whether a high bill is caused by actual usage or another issue.
High bill, suspected leak, irrigation increase.
Set thresholds and alerts
Can help catch abnormal use before the next bill surprises you.
Homes with irrigation, rentals, older plumbing or past leaks.
Paperless billing
Reduces missed mailed bills and gives faster access to billing notices.
Busy households, renters, property managers.
Local value tip: If your household waters a yard, has irrigation, or has had hidden leaks before, the portal’s consumption and alert features are more useful than paying as a guest every month.

Midland Utility Payment Plan: What to Know Before You Request One

Midland has a Request for Payment Plan page for outstanding balances. The City explains that a payment arrangement spreads a large balance over a specific period, but the customer must also keep paying current monthly utility charges in full by the due date.

Important: A payment plan is not the same as skipping future bills. You must pay the agreed installment plus each new monthly utility charge by the bill due date.
  1. Open the official payment plan page.
    Use this City page: Request for Payment Plan.
  2. Check your current balance first.
    Review the total outstanding amount and the newest monthly charge.
  3. Decide what installment you can realistically pay.
    Do not agree to an installment that prevents you from paying the next month’s utility charges.
  4. Keep written proof.
    Save confirmation of the arrangement, due dates, installment amount and any staff guidance.
  5. Call Utility Billing if unclear.
    Use 432-685-7320 if you need help understanding how the plan affects your account.

Water Leaks, Meter Leaks and After-Hours Water Issues in Midland

Billing questions and water maintenance issues are not the same. Use City Utility Billing for billing, account and meter-leak work order questions. Use after-hours contact only when the timing and issue require it.

  1. Identify whether it is billing or maintenance.
    A high bill, payment issue or account confusion starts with Utility Billing. A visible water/sewer field issue may need maintenance or after-hours reporting.
  2. Check whether the problem is on your side of the meter.
    Running toilets, irrigation leaks, indoor plumbing leaks and water heater leaks are common private-property causes.
  3. Use the right number for the time of day.
    For business-hours utility billing, use 432-685-7320. For after-hours water issues, use 432-685-7340.
  4. Give exact location and symptoms.
    Explain whether water is at the meter, in the street, in the yard, inside the home, or near a sewer line.
  5. Save notes and photos.
    Keep call notes, date/time, photos, repair receipts and plumber invoices if the issue affects your bill.

High Midland Water Bill Checklist Before You Call

Midland’s utility FAQ says a billing representative can help clarify a high bill. Before calling, collect details from your bill, usage data, and property checks so the conversation is faster and more useful.

Check consumption Use the portal to compare consumption and billed usage if you have a login.
Look for running toilets A silent toilet leak can waste water continuously and raise the bill quickly.
Inspect irrigation Midland yards, timers, broken sprinkler heads and valves can drive sudden usage spikes.
Check meter leak If the meter appears to be leaking, call Utility Billing so a work order can be generated if needed.
Review sewer charges Midland says residential sewer charges are determined by winter water use averages.
Check payment posting Make sure the last payment posted correctly and was not returned or applied to another account.

Have this ready before calling Utility Billing

  • Current bill and previous bill.
  • Account number and service address.
  • Payment confirmation if you recently paid.
  • Portal usage or consumption screenshot if available.
  • Dates when the increase started.
  • Photos, plumber invoice or repair receipt if you found a leak.
  • Notes about irrigation, guests, new tenants, pool filling, outdoor watering or appliance changes.

Midland Water and Sewer Rate Notes Customers Should Understand

Midland’s current water and sewer rate page explains that residential bills include a base amount for the first 2,000 gallons and an after-base rate per 1,000 gallons. The sewer structure is based on wastewater discharged into the City system, and residential sewer charges are determined by winter water use averages.

Bill item
What the City explains
Why it matters
Residential base rate
The rate page lists a base rate covering the first 2,000 gallons.
Even low-use households may still see a fixed base amount.
After-base water use
Additional water use is charged per 1,000 gallons.
Outdoor watering and leaks can push usage into added charges.
Residential sewer
Residential sewer charges are determined by winter water use averages.
Winter usage can affect later sewer billing, so winter leaks matter.
Rate changes
Current rate pages may be updated by the City.
Always confirm rates on the official City page before disputing a bill.
Official rates page: Check the City’s current rate information here: Current Water and Sewer Rates.

Drought, Watering and Conservation Issues in Midland

Midland’s Utilities page includes drought and watering resources. If your bill jumps during hot months, outdoor watering and irrigation should be one of the first things you check.

Watering violations The City says watering violations under the Drought Contingency Plan can be reported by phone or through the Citizen Request Tracker.
Watering yard guidance Use the City’s watering resources before setting irrigation timers for summer use.
Water quality report The Utilities page links to the Consumer Confidence Report for the public water system.
Bill-saving tip: If your irrigation system runs before sunrise, check broken sprinkler heads in daylight too. A broken head can run unnoticed while still raising usage.
