Wichita Water Department – Pay Bill, Contact & Services Guide

Choose the Wichita Water Help You Need

The right Wichita water contact depends on what is happening. A payment question, a payment arrangement, a high bill and a water leak should not all go through the same mental checklist.

How to Pay Your Wichita Water Bill Online

Wichita’s official Make a Payment page lists a Water Utilities Bill option for paying online or managing services. You can also use the City’s Online Services page, which points users to the water bill service-management path.

1. Open the official City payment page.
   Start here: City of Wichita Make a Payment.
2. Choose Water Utilities Bill.
   Do not use a random search-result payment page. Use the official City water utilities billing path.
3. Keep your bill nearby.
   Have your account number, service address, account holder name, balance and due date ready before you submit payment.
4. Review the account and amount.
   Make sure the service address and balance match your latest Wichita water bill before paying.
5. Save proof.
   Keep the confirmation number, receipt email or screenshot until the payment posts to your account.

Payment Arrangement or Billing Question? Call the Correct Number

For normal billing questions, payment arrangements and payment-related issues, use the billing customer service number. Do not call the emergency leak number unless there is an actual water or sewer emergency.

1. Check your current bill first.
   Know the account number, service address, due date and total amount due.
2. Call before the deadline.
   You usually have better options before the bill becomes urgent.
3. Ask what must be paid now.
   If an arrangement is available, ask whether a partial payment is required.
4. Confirm how future bills are handled.
   Ask whether you must pay new monthly charges separately while catching up.
5. Write down the details.
   Save the date, time, representative notes, arrangement terms and any confirmation number.

Report a Wichita Water or Sewer Leak

Wichita has a separate leak reporting path. The official Report a Water or Sewer Leak page says to call 316-262-6000 for water leaks and public sewer system leaks.

1. Call the leak number first.
   Use emergency reporting for visible leaks, suspected water main breaks, public sewer leaks or urgent water issues.
2. Give the exact location.
   Share the address, cross street, landmark, nearest building or location of the leak.
3. Keep away from unsafe areas.
   Avoid standing water, road damage, sewage, sinkholes or water near electrical hazards.
4. Take photos only if safe.
   Documentation can help your own records, but safety comes first.
5. Handle billing later.
   First report the emergency. Then contact customer service if the issue affects your bill.

High Wichita Water Bill Checklist

Wichita’s official high water bill page explains that high water bills are caused by high water usage. Usage can rise when weather warms and residents start watering yards or gardens. Leaking toilets and faucets can also cause large usage increases.

Before calling customer service, gather this

• Current bill and previous bill.
• Account number and service address.
• Any payment confirmation if you recently paid.
• Dates when watering, guests, tenants or outdoor use changed.
• Leak repair receipt, plumber invoice, parts receipt or photos.
• Notes from checking toilets, faucets, irrigation and outdoor spigots.

Wichita Water Rates, Fees and Assistance Resources

Wichita’s Water Customer Care section links to rates, fees and high water bill resources. Its Rates & Fees page also references the H2O Care Fund, a voluntary donation program intended to help customers having difficulty paying water bills.

Start, Stop or Manage Wichita Water Service

The City of Wichita Online Services page says users can pay a water bill or manage water services online. For account-specific timing, payment status, move-in/move-out details or billing responsibility, call customer service.
