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
- RWA Connect customer account platform; the authority's current public materials identify the platform but do not name its underlying vendor.
- Phone payment number
- 203-562-4020; telephone self-service payment follows the prompts and the same number is the 24/7 emergency contact.
- Pay-by-text
- RWA CodeRED emergency notifications can be enrolled by texting RWATER to 24639 for water-emergency calls, texts, and emails. This is an emergency-notification enrollment, not a confirmed text-to-pay service; the reviewed payment pages do not publish a pay-by-text payment keyword.
- Mail-in payment address
- Regional Water Authority, P.O. Box 981102, Boston, MA 02298-1102. Include the payment stub, write the account number in the check memo, and do not staple, tape, or send cash.
- In-person payment
- RWA accepts cash, check, and Visa/Mastercard at participating Walmart and Green Dot retail locations; partner fees may apply. Customers may also use the New Haven drop box at 90 Sargent Drive. RWA's cashier at that location is open Monday-Thursday 8:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. and 1:00-5:00 p.m., and Friday 8:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. and 12:30-4:30 p.m., excluding holidays. The online portal also supports setting up in-person retail payments.
- Digital payment methods
- RWA accepts direct bank transfer, major debit and credit cards excluding American Express, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Venmo, and PayPal. The authority also supports automatic payments, paperless billing, and cash-payment setup through participating retail locations.
