A 24/7 drop box is in the City Hall back parking lot near Richard Nixon Drive, entered from Mar Vista Street; it accepts checks only. Confirm holiday schedules and whether a card-payment service fee is shown before payment.

- The City publishes an online water-bill payment system and accepts card payment at the cashier by debit, Visa, MasterCard, or Discover. The reviewed public page does not identify the online gateway's supported eCheck, digital-wallet, or bank-account options; Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Venmo were not confirmed as supported for this municipal system.
