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
- KUBRA EZ-Pay for guest/card/bank payments; MyHQ is the MDC self-service account portal.
- Phone payment number
- 860-278-7850; press 4 reaches customer service and billing/payment assistance, while press 1 is the 24/7 Command Center for sewer emergencies. The reviewed MDC pages do not identify a separate automated payment number apart from the main IVR.
- Pay-by-text
- MDC Pay-By-Text is enrolled through KUBRA EZ-Pay Guest Checkout: make a one-time payment, then select “Activate Pay-By-Text Now” after the successful payment. Credit card, debit card, or bank-account payment methods can be used. A reminder text arrives five days before the due date with the amount and secure code; full-balance payment is required, payments process in about one-to-two business days, and each Pay-By-Text transaction carries a $1.95 fee. Text STOP to unenroll and re-enroll through a new Guest Checkout payment if the payment method or phone number changes.
- Mail-in payment address
- The 2026 MDC bill insert identifies payment by mail at The Metropolitan District, P.O. Box 5535, Binghamton, NY 13902-5535. Customers should include the remittance stub and allow posting time; the reviewed insert and payment pages do not recommend mailing cash.
- In-person payment
- The MDC’s published 2026 payment materials identify retail cash payment locations at 555 Main Street, Hartford, CT 06103, and 60 Murphy Road, Hartford, CT. Cash-only retail availability and current counter hours should be confirmed with Customer Service at 860-278-7850; the central MDC address is 555 Main Street and regular billing customer-service hours are Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. The MDC also provides MyHQ, MDC Pay, EZ-Pay, mail, and phone channels; the reviewed pages do not publish a complete counter list for every member town.
- Digital payment methods
- MyHQ offers no-fee one-time payments and AutoPay, while MDC Pay uses the same MyHQ credentials. KUBRA EZ-Pay accepts credit cards, debit cards, or bank-account debits; Pay-By-Text accepts the same three categories. Paperless billing and payment history are available through MyHQ.
- Online convenience fees
- MyHQ one-time payments and AutoPay are advertised with no fees. KUBRA EZ-Pay card, debit, and bank-account transactions state that fees apply, but the reviewed page does not publish one universal fee; Pay-By-Text specifically charges $1.95 per transaction.
