Payment research for this provider
The compiled notes distinguish confirmed channels from details the public material did not expose. Fields containing only an unavailable-information marker are grouped in the research record below.
- Payment platform
- Paymentus Corp. for guest/one-time payment; California American Water’s registered account portal is MyWater at login.amwater.com.
- Phone payment number
- 1-855-748-6066. The California American Water IVR accepts Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, or electronic check; callers should have the 16-digit account number. Emergency support is 1-888-237-1333, available 24/7, while non-emergency customer service is Monday–Friday, 7:00 a.m.–7:00 p.m.
- Pay-by-text
- The Paymentus guest-pay form asks for the account number and email and can text the barcode from the California American Water bill to a customer for use at an authorized payment location. The reviewed 2026 materials do not publish a standalone text-to-pay keyword, short code, or recurring SMS enrollment procedure; customers should use the MyWater/Paymentus portal or the 1-855-748-6066 IVR.
- Mail-in payment address
- California American Water, P.O. Box 7150, Pasadena, CA 91109-7150. Send the payment with the bill stub; do not send cash or use staples or paper clips. The Pasadena lockbox is the company’s published mailed-payment address for East Pasadena accounts.
- In-person payment
- Customers may use an authorized California American Water payment location by presenting the barcode on the bill and knowing the amount due; the available-location list changes periodically and customers should confirm acceptance before traveling. The current billing page does not identify a fixed East Pasadena cashier or counter hours. General non-emergency customer service is Monday–Friday 7:00 a.m.–7:00 p.m.; water emergencies are handled 24/7 at 1-888-237-1333. Payment locations may accept check, cash, or card depending on the authorized retailer, so the location should be checked first.
- Digital payment methods
- MyWater supports online bill payment, AutoPay, paperless billing, payment history, account balance, service start/stop, alerts, and usage history. Paymentus one-time online payment and the 1-855-748-6066 IVR accept bank account/electronic check and Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express. California American Water’s current billing page states the former $1.95 third-party card transaction fee has been eliminated. Apple Pay and Google Pay are not identified as accepted instruments.
- Online convenience fees
- The current California American Water billing page states that the $1.95 third-party transaction fee for credit-card payments has been eliminated, including the listed phone-payment channel. The reviewed current page does not state a replacement online ACH or card surcharge. Authorized in-person locations may have their own payment handling terms; customers should confirm before payment.
