Payment channels

Pay City of Chino Hills Utility Billing and Water Customer Service

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 Paymentus. Never enter account credentials into a lookalike site reached through an unsolicited message.

Telephone payment

Phone IVR

(909) 364-2660; the City’s published automated payment system accepts eCheck and Visa, Mastercard, Discover, or American Express.

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 City’s Paymentus page says customers can pay by text and manage electronic billing features, but the reviewed official materials do not publish a separate enrollment keyword, short code, or opt-in sequence. Customers should register or sign in through the Paymentus customer portal, use the customer and account numbers printed on the bill, and follow the portal’s current SMS consent prompts; do not assume that an unlisted keyword is active.

Mail-in address

City of Chino Hills, Utility Billing Office, 14000 City Center Drive, Chino Hills, CA 91709. Customers should enclose the bill stub, make checks payable to City of Chino Hills, and not mail cash; a postmark does not satisfy a shut-off deadline.

Counters, drop boxes, and office hours

The public utility counter is on the second floor of Chino Hills City Hall, 14000 City Center Drive, Chino Hills, CA 91709. Utility Billing hours are Monday through Thursday 7:30 a.m.–5:00 p.m. and Friday 7:30 a.m.–4:00 p.m. The City also provides a payment box in the City Hall parking lot on the west side of the Chino Hills Library near the Police Department; the City warns customers not to place cash in that box. Counter payments may be made by cash, check, money order, cashier’s check, or Visa, Mastercard, or Discover debit/credit card. The payment box is a drop-off location rather than a staffed counter, so receipt timing remains the customer’s responsibility.

Accepted digital instruments

What you can use online

Paymentus lists checking or savings account eCheck, Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, PayPal, PayPal Credit, Venmo, Google Pay, and Apple Pay. The City’s general payment page also describes online, automated-phone, autopay, paperless billing, and one-time payment options.

2026 transaction pricing

Convenience fees

A dedicated this detail was not publicly posted. In the City’s reviewed 2026 utility fee schedule and payment instructions. The official pages identify the available instruments but do not state a separate 2026 dollar or percentage convenience surcharge for utility eCheck, card, wallet, or phone transactions.

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 City of Chino Hills Utility Billing and Water Customer Service 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.
