Cycle or rule | County timing | What you should do |
|---|---|---|
1st cycle | Due on the 5th of each month before 5 p.m. | Pay earlier if the 5th is near a weekend or holiday. |
2nd cycle | Due on the 15th of each month before 5 p.m. | Confirm payment posts before the deadline. |
3rd cycle | Due on the 25th of each month before 5 p.m. | Use online or phone payment if mail will be too slow. |
Weekend or holiday | Due date becomes the next business day. | Still do not wait until the last hour if cut-off risk exists. |

New accounts, transfers, deposits, tap fees and disconnects
Robeson County states that for all new accounts, including inactive services, deposits, tap fees, transfers and disconnects, the office does not guarantee same-day service. This is important if you are moving, transferring service, buying property or reopening an inactive service.
Task | What to prepare | Practical advice |

High Robeson County water bill or possible leak
If the bill looks higher than expected, start by checking the due cycle, Account #, CID #, past balance, recent usage, household changes and EyeOnWater data. A leak or continuous usage pattern can often be easier to spot in EyeOnWater than on a paper bill alone.
What you notice | Possible reason | Next step |
|---|---|---|
Usage suddenly increased | Leak, irrigation, guests, hose use or running toilet. | Check EyeOnWater usage pattern and inspect toilets, hose bibs and visible plumbing. |
Payment not reflected | Wrong account entry, posting delay or failed payment. | Prepare receipt, Account #, CID # and call customer service. |
Late fee added | Payment received after 5 p.m. due-date deadline. | Check the payment timestamp and due cycle. |
Cut-off risk | Bill is beyond the 5-calendar-day cut-off window after due date. | Pay through immediate official route and call 910-671-3478. |
Leak alert | Continuous water flow detected by meter data. | Check toilets, water heater, outdoor spigots, irrigation and crawlspace/plumbing areas if safe. |
