Accepted digital instruments

What you can use online

The ePayUB portal accepts credit and debit card payments and provides quick-pay and registered-account functions. EOCWD also offers recurring pre-authorized electronic funds transfer (EFT/ACH) from a customer’s financial institution with no fee for that recurring EFT service. Bank bill-pay checks are accepted but are mailed by the bank rather than transferred electronically. Apple Pay, Google Pay, and a text-payment method are not identified in the current materials.

2026 transaction pricing

Convenience fees

EOCWD’s payment FAQ states that online credit-card and e-check payments carry a 1% service fee; the FAQ also says the fee associated with each selected payment method is displayed below the bill before payment. The 2026 rules separately state that recurring pre-authorized EFT has no fee, while credit/debit card payments use a third-party processor and charge the transaction fee to the customer. The current public material does not identify a different flat fee or a 2026 card-network surcharge.

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 East Orange County Water District (EOCWD) – Retail Zone RZ 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.
