Payment channels

Pay College Utilities Corporation (CUC), Fairbanks Sewer & Water / Nexus Water Group

Use the provider’s verified online, telephone, mail, or counter instructions. Check the final confirmation screen for the amount, processing date, and any transaction fee before submitting.

Primary online route

Use the official payment portal

The direct portal is the fastest route when it is available. The provider identifies its payment gateway as My Account portal operated for the utility group by Nexus Water Group; the public portal does not identify a separate transaction-gateway vendor.. Never enter account credentials into a lookalike site reached through an unsolicited message.

Telephone payment

Phone IVR

(888) 527-9707, then select Option 2. CUC's shared Fairbanks payment page describes this as a 24/7 interactive voice-response system for AMEX, Discover, MasterCard, or Visa card payments, balance and last-payment inquiries, and recurring card payments.

Have your account number and payment instrument ready. Follow the provider’s recorded prompts and retain the confirmation number.

Alternative channels

Mail, text, and in-person payment instructions

Pay by text

The portal supports text and phone notifications for payment reminders and service notices, but the CUC/Golden Heart Alaska payment page reviewed does not publish a separate SMS keyword, short code, or text-to-pay enrollment command. Customers enroll through the My Account portal using the 10-digit account number and five-digit service-address ZIP code; text-to-pay availability beyond notifications should be confirmed with Customer Service.

Mail-in address

Utility Services of Alaska, P.O. Box 1319, Covina, CA 91722-0319. Write the 10-digit account number on the check or money order, include the payment stub, and do not mail cash. The company warns against third-party bill-pay services because posting delays can cause late fees or disconnection.

Counters, drop boxes, and office hours

The customer-service office is 3691 Cameron Street, Fairbanks, AK 99709, open Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m.; customer-service agents are available by phone Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. Customers may pay at the office and may also pay cash or debit card at participating Walmart MoneyCenter or Customer Service desks by providing the utility name and account number and specifically requesting Walmart Bill Pay same-day processing. The shared utility tariff identifies the business office at 3691 Cameron Street, Suite 201, and lists weekday business hours of 8:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m. excluding published holidays. Customers at risk of shutoff should retain the Walmart confirmation number and call the utility before 3:00 p.m. for turn-on coordination.

Accepted digital instruments

What you can use online

The My Account portal accepts one-time and automatic payments by AMEX, Discover, Mastercard, and Visa credit/debit card, digital wallets including Venmo, PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay, and online banking/eCheck. Bank Auto Pay debits checking or savings accounts and is described as free. The IVR accepts AMEX, Discover, Mastercard, and Visa cards; business customers cannot use Visa or MasterCard in the portal but can pay online by check.

2026 transaction pricing

Convenience fees

The CUC/Golden Heart Alaska payment page does not publish a fixed 2026 online card, eCheck, or digital-wallet convenience fee. Bank Auto Pay is expressly described as free; any fee for a particular payment channel or retailer must be shown during the transaction or confirmed with Customer Service at (907) 479-3118.

Fees can vary by payment type, channel, account class, and processor terms. The checkout screen is the final fee disclosure.

Payment guidance

Choose the payment channel that fits your deadline

The safest payment path is the one published by College Utilities Corporation (CUC), Fairbanks Sewer & Water / Nexus Water Group and matched to the account information on your bill. Online portals are convenient, but telephone, mail, counter, and drop-box options may follow different posting schedules and may use different fees.

For a routine payment, save the final confirmation page or IVR number and check when the transaction will post. For a same-day shut-off notice, do not assume that submitting a card payment automatically stops a field order; ask the provider what amount and confirmation are required.

Never send your account number, password, card details, or bank information to Water Ledger. Those details belong only on the provider’s verified payment channel or at an authorized counter.
