Where to pay your Henderson water bill
Henderson Water Utilities operates the water system for the city of Henderson, Nevada. You can pay your bill through three main channels: online at the Henderson Water Utilities website, by mail to their payment processing center, or in person at their office or an authorized payment location.
The fastest and most convenient method is online payment through your account on the Henderson Water Utilities website. You can set up a one-time payment or enroll in automatic monthly payments so the bill is paid on the due date without you having to remember. Mail payments take 7 to 10 business days to reach the processing center, so send them well before your due date to avoid a late fee.
In-person payments are accepted at the Henderson Water Utilities office during business hours. Some customers also pay at authorized payment centers in the community, though these locations change. Call 702-564-1900 to confirm current payment locations before you go.
Key Takeaways
- Online payment through the Henderson Water Utilities website is the fastest method and lets you pay one time or set up automatic monthly payments.
- Mail payments must be sent 7 to 10 business days before your due date to arrive on time and avoid late fees.
- Your account number appears on your bill and is required for online or phone payments.
- Late payments trigger a reconnection fee if your service is shut off, so paying by the due date saves money even if you pay in installments.
- If you cannot pay your full bill, contact Henderson Water Utilities to ask about payment plans or hardship programs before your account falls behind.
Setting up online payment or autopay
Go to the Henderson Water Utilities website and look for the "Pay My Bill" or "Online Bill Pay" link. You will need your account number, which is printed on your bill, and an email address. Create a login or sign in if you already have an account.
For a one-time payment, enter the amount you want to pay and choose your payment method — debit card, credit card, or bank account transfer. The system will show you the processing fee, if any, before you confirm. Bank account transfers usually have no fee; card payments often do.
To set up autopay, select the automatic payment option during login and choose the date each month when you want the payment to come out. The system will deduct the current bill amount on that date. Review your bill each month to make sure the amount is correct, because autopay deducts whatever Henderson Water Utilities bills you for that cycle.
Paying by mail or phone
If you pay by mail, write your account number on the check or money order and mail it to the address shown on your bill. Do not send cash through the mail. Allow 7 to 10 business days for the payment to be received and posted to your account, so mail your payment at least two weeks before the due date if you want to avoid a late fee.
To pay by phone, call Henderson Water Utilities at 702-564-1900 during business hours. Have your account number and payment method ready. Phone payments are processed immediately, but a fee may apply depending on the payment method you choose.
Understanding your bill and due date
Your Henderson water bill shows the amount due and the due date at the top. The bill also breaks down your charges: the base service fee, the water usage charge (measured in units called hundred cubic feet, or HCF), and any taxes or fees. Read the usage section to see how much water you used during the billing period.
The due date is typically 15 to 20 days after the bill is mailed. If you do not pay by that date, Henderson Water Utilities will add a late fee to your next bill. If the account remains unpaid for 30 days or more, the utility may shut off your water service and charge a reconnection fee to turn it back on.
Bills are usually mailed once a month. If you sign up for online bill delivery, you will receive an email when your bill is ready to view on the website instead of receiving a paper bill in the mail.
What to do if you cannot pay your full bill
Contact Henderson Water Utilities before your bill becomes overdue. The utility may offer a payment plan that lets you pay part of the bill now and the rest over the next one or two billing cycles. Payment plans are not automatic — you have to call and ask.
Explain your situation to the customer service representative. If you are facing a temporary hardship, mention that. Some utilities have hardship programs or can defer a portion of your bill, though availability varies. The key is to call before you miss a payment, not after.
If your service is shut off, you will owe both the unpaid balance and a reconnection fee to have water restored. The reconnection fee can be $50 to $100 or more, depending on the reason for the shutoff and how long the account was delinquent. Paying on time or arranging a plan in advance costs far less.
Checking your account balance and payment history
Log into your account on the Henderson Water Utilities website to see your current balance, due date, and payment history. The website shows which payments have been posted and when. If you made a payment recently, it may take one to two business days to appear in your account.
If you do not have online access, call 702-564-1900 and provide your account number. A customer service representative can tell you your balance, due date, and the status of any recent payments over the phone.
Keep records of your payments, especially if you pay by mail or phone. Write down the confirmation number or date you paid. If a payment does not appear in your account after 10 business days, contact the utility to confirm it was received.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I miss my due date?
A late fee is added to your next bill. If you remain unpaid for 30 days or more, Henderson Water Utilities will shut off your water service and charge a reconnection fee to restore it. Contact the utility immediately if you miss a payment to discuss a plan.
Can I pay with a credit card online?
Yes, the Henderson Water Utilities website accepts credit and debit cards for online payments. A processing fee usually applies to card payments, though the exact amount depends on the card type. Bank account transfers typically have no fee.
How do I change my billing address?

Can I set up autopay and still review my bill before payment?
