How to pay your MUD bill through mudomaha.com
MUD's online payment system at mudomaha.com lets you pay your water, wastewater, and stormwater bill without leaving home. You can pay with a debit card, credit card, or bank account transfer. The site processes payments the same day if you submit before 5 p.m. Central Time on a business day; payments submitted after that or on weekends post the next business day.
To pay online, log into your account at mudomaha.com using your account number and password. If you don't have an online account yet, you can create one by entering your account number and the amount of your last bill. Once logged in, select "Pay My Bill," choose your payment method, and enter the amount. You'll see the payment date before you confirm.
MUD does not charge a fee for paying by bank account transfer (ACH). If you pay by debit or credit card, MUD passes along a processing fee that varies depending on the card type — typically between 2.5% and 3% of your payment amount. The site will show you the exact fee before you complete the transaction.

Setting up automatic payments to avoid late bills
Automatic payments remove the risk of forgetting to pay before the due date. Log into mudomaha.com, go to "Billing & Payments," and select "Autopay." Choose whether you want to pay the full bill amount or a set dollar amount each month, then pick the date the payment should process. MUD recommends choosing a date a few days before your due date to leave room for processing time.
You can change or cancel automatic payments anytime through your online account. If you need to stop a payment before it processes, contact MUD's customer service at 402-554-7000 during business hours. Payments that have already posted cannot be reversed through the website; you would need to contact customer service to request a refund or credit.
Paying by mail or in person
If you prefer not to pay online, you can mail a check or money order to the address printed on your bill. Include your account number on the check so MUD can match the payment to your account. Mail payments typically take 5 to 10 business days to reach MUD's office and post to your account, so send your payment well before the due date to avoid a late fee.
MUD also accepts payments at drop boxes located at several of their service centers around Omaha. Check mudomaha.com for the current list of locations and hours. Payments deposited in a drop box are usually processed within one business day.
Understanding your due date and late fees
Your bill's due date appears on the front of your statement. If payment is not received by that date, MUD charges a late fee. The amount of the late fee depends on your bill total and is shown on your bill. Paying even one day after the due date triggers the fee, so timing matters.
If you pay late, the late fee is added to your next bill. If you have questions about a late fee or believe it was applied in error, contact MUD's customer service at 402-554-7000. They can review your account history and may be able to remove the fee in certain situations, such as if a payment was delayed by the postal service.
What to do if your payment doesn't go through
If you submitted a payment online but it did not process, check your account at mudomaha.com to see the payment status. The site shows whether a payment is pending, posted, or failed. If a payment failed, the most common reasons are an incorrect card number, an expired card, insufficient funds in your bank account, or a mismatch between the address on file and the address associated with your card.
Try the payment again with corrected information. If the payment fails a second time, contact MUD at 402-554-7000 to troubleshoot. Do not assume the payment went through if you don't see a confirmation on the website — always verify the status before the due date passes.
Contacting MUD if you have trouble paying
MUD's customer service team can help if you're having trouble with the online payment system, need to discuss a payment plan, or have questions about your bill. Call 402-554-7000 during business hours, or visit mudomaha.com to find their mailing address and hours. You can also use the contact form on their website to send a message.
If you're facing financial hardship and cannot pay your full bill, contact MUD to discuss your options. They may be able to work out a payment arrangement or provide information about assistance programs in the Omaha area.
