Pay a Pasadena Water Bill, Avoid Disconnect-Date Mistakes, or Start Service
Pasadena, Texas water customers have several official payment choices: online payment, automated IVR phone payment, ACH bank draft, mail, night drop, drive-through lanes, in-person payment, and authorized payment locations.

Disconnect Date, Delinquent Bill or Disconnected Service: What to Do
Pasadena’s official payment page gives a very specific warning: do not pay online or by IVR if you are making a payment on the Disconnect Date. This is more important than a generic “pay online” instruction.
-
Read the bill or notice carefully.
Find the Disconnect Date, account number, service address, past-due amount, and any instructions. -
Do not rely only on online or IVR payment on that date.
The City says the payment file is not received until the following business day. -
Call Water Billing before paying if service is at risk.
Ask for the current amount due, acceptable payment method, and whether payment must be made in person or by office phone. -
Ask about posting and reconnection timing.
If service has already been disconnected, payment may not mean immediate restoration. -
Save every proof of payment.
Keep the receipt, staff notes, confirmation number, and date/time of contact.

-
Open the official payment options page.
Go to Pasadena Bill Payments and find the bank authorization form. -
Complete and sign the authorization.
