How to Pay an Anne Arundel County Water or Wastewater Bill Online

The county’s online utility billing system lets customers view bills and make payments online. It accepts credit card and eCheck payments, and the county says payments may show as pending before appearing on the account.

  1. Open the official utility billing portal.
    Use the county’s portal here: Anne Arundel County Utility Billing.
  2. Search for your utility bill.
    Use the customer, address or account information from your current bill. Do not guess if the address or customer result looks wrong.

    Check the water/wastewater bill amount, account details, service address and any fee shown before submitting.
  4. Pay by card or eCheck.
    Choose the payment method that fits your situation. If your bank payment cannot process, the county Citizen Self Service notice says a returned check fee may apply.

Payment timing tip: If your bill is urgent, do not rely only on a pending online payment screen. Call Customer Service at 410-222-1144 if you need account-specific posting guidance.

Lost Bill, Moved Account, Payment Difficulty or Bill Seems Too High?

Anne Arundel County’s bill payment assistance page says Customer Service can discuss bills where a customer has lost a bill, moved, cannot afford to pay all at one time or has a bill that seems out of line. This is the section to use before making a rushed payment.

Customer Service: Call 410-222-1144, Monday through Friday, or email custserv@aacounty.org.

Before contacting Customer Service, gather this

  • Current water/wastewater bill and previous bill.
  • Service address and customer/account information.
  • Payment confirmation if you recently paid.
  • Move-in/move-out date if the account changed.
  • Any leak repair receipt or plumber invoice if usage increased.
  • Notes about why the bill seems wrong or unaffordable.
Do not ignore an unusual bill: A lost bill, moved account or high bill can become harder to fix if you wait until the due date or a notice arrives.

Anne Arundel County Leak Adjustment and High Water Bill Help

The county utility billing portal lists a Customer Request for Leak Adjustment resource. If your bill increased because of a repaired leak, prepare documentation before requesting review.

  1. Find and repair the leak first.
    Common causes include running toilets, underground service line leaks, irrigation leaks, water heater issues and fixture leaks.
  2. Keep proof of repair.
    Save plumber invoices, repair receipts, photos, parts receipts and the date the leak was fixed.
  3. Open the utility billing portal resource area.
    Use the County Utility Billing portal and look for Customer Request for Leak Adjustment.
  4. Call Customer Service if unsure.
    Ask 410-222-1144 what documentation is required for your account.
  5. Keep paying current charges as advised.
    Ask whether any amount must be paid while the adjustment request is reviewed.
Important: A high bill does not automatically mean an adjustment will be approved. A leak adjustment is usually tied to documentation and county review.
