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
- Speedpay for one-time web payment and e-bill checkout; Denver Water Online for authenticated account management
- Phone payment number
- 1-800-556-0292, automated payment processing available 24 hours a day; Customer Care payment assistance is 303-893-2444 Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
- Pay-by-text
- Create or sign in to a Denver Water Online account using the account number and customer ID printed on the bill. Select Pay Bill, open the PAY-BY-TEXT option in the account menu, and follow the enrollment prompts. Denver Water sends a confirmation text after setup; reply H2O to verify enrollment. The service sends a bill reminder five days before the due date, stores the selected payment method for future use, and permits a quick text reply to pay while the customer continues receiving a paper or electronic bill. Customers should continue paying manually until the account confirms that automatic or text payment is active.
- Mail-in payment address
- Denver Water, P.O. Box 173343, Denver, CO 80217-3343. The correspondence and administration address is Denver Water, 1600 W. 12th Ave., Denver, CO 80204-3412, but checks and money orders should be sent to the dedicated pay-by-mail lockbox. Customers should write the account number on the check, make it payable to Denver Water, and mail early because a mailed payment may not prevent a scheduled turn-off for past-due charges.
- In-person payment
- Denver Water does not advertise a single public cashier counter for ordinary bill payment. Customers can pay cash or use a PIN-based debit card at participating Western Union agent locations; locations and hours vary, and the customer should bring the statement with the account number and customer ID. Western Union payments may not stop a turn-off related to past-due charges, so customers at risk should call Denver Water Customer Care at 303-893-2444 during Monday–Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. service hours. The administration building at 1600 W. 12th Ave. is the correspondence address, not a guarantee of walk-in cashier service.
- Digital payment methods
- The authenticated Denver Water Online and one-time Speedpay web-pay channels accept electronic check/ACH, ATM or PIN debit card, and credit card. Denver Water explicitly states that American Express is not accepted. Customers may also use the 24-hour automated IVR, enroll in autopay from a credit or debit card or checking, savings, or money-market account, and use Pay By Text after portal enrollment. Western Union supports cash or PIN-based debit at participating agents but is an in-person retail channel rather than the online portal.
- Online convenience fees
- The official one-time guest-payment page states that web pay is free at any time for ACH, ATM/debit-card, and credit-card payments. Denver Water’s current pages do not identify an online percentage surcharge or flat 2026 convenience fee; Speedpay is the third-party checkout provider, and any final transaction disclosure should be reviewed before submission.
