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 (American Water MyWater payment platform)
- Phone payment number
- 1-855-748-6066
- Pay-by-text
- California American Water publishes electronic billing, outage, and usage communications but the reviewed Monterey customer pages do not document a separate text-to-pay keyword or enrollment sequence. Customers should enroll through MyWater or call customer service rather than assuming that an outage-alert text is a payment authorization.
- Mail-in payment address
- California American Water, PO Box 7150, Pasadena, CA 91109-7150
- In-person payment
- The Monterey District customer-service location is listed at 511 Forest Lodge Road, Suite 100, Pacific Grove, CA 93950. The reviewed 2026 pages do not publish a reliable counter schedule or a complete list of authorized walk-in agents, so customers should confirm availability with 888-237-1333 before traveling. Mail, MyWater, Paymentus, and the automated telephone channel are the documented payment routes.
- Digital payment methods
- Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, and electronic check/ACH through the MyWater/Paymentus channels; the reviewed 2026 Monterey page does not promise wallet support.
- Online convenience fees
- California American Water states that its former $1.95 online credit/debit convenience fee has been eliminated. The reviewed page does not publish a separate 2026 e-check charge.
