Wheeling Water Bill Payment and Contact Options

Use this table to avoid calling the wrong office. Billing, water line breaks, and sewer emergencies are separate issues.

Start or Stop Wheeling Municipal Water, Sewer and Garbage Service

Wheeling’s Water Department page links to an Application for Municipal Services covering water, sewer and garbage. The application itself states that two forms of identification are required and includes customer, employer, emergency contact, rental and property owner details.

Paperless Billing and Paper Bill Preference

The City posted an important billing update for Wheeling water customers: customers registered on the payment website began receiving bills by email, while customers without an email address on file were not impacted.

1. Check how your bill is delivered.
   If you registered online, watch your email for water billing notices and check spam/junk folders.
2. Decide whether you want paper bills.
   If the City asks for a paper-bill preference form, complete it by the stated deadline.
3. Keep your email updated.
   A wrong email can make you miss bills or notices.
4. Call billing if you stop receiving bills.
   Contact 304-234-3762 if your email or paper bill does not arrive as expected.

Report a Wheeling Water Line Break or Urgent Water Concern

Water line breaks and urgent distribution concerns should not go through a payment portal. The official City page says to call the Water Superintendent number for a water line break or urgent water concern.

1. Call first if water is actively flowing.
   Do not wait to send an email if water is damaging property or affecting a street.
2. Give exact location details.
   Share the address, cross street, landmark, direction of flow and whether the issue appears public or private.
3. Stay away from unsafe areas.
   Avoid standing water near traffic, electrical equipment, sinkholes or broken pavement.
4. Document safely.
   Photos may help your records, but never enter unsafe water or traffic areas.
5. Handle billing later.
   Emergency response comes first. Billing questions can be handled after the break or service problem is reported.

Sewer Break, Backup or Wastewater Emergency in Wheeling

Wheeling’s Water Pollution Control Division operates and maintains the wastewater collection and treatment system. Its official page says to report a sewer break or emergency by calling the listed phone number, which is answered 24/7.

Before and after you call

• Stop using drains if sewage is backing up inside the home.
• Keep children and pets away from sewage or contaminated water.
• Do not flush wipes, paper towels, cleaning wipes or feminine products.
