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
- City of Fort Myers online Utilities service; the City also provides a WaterSmart usage/leak-alert portal. The underlying payment processor is not named on the current public page.
- Phone payment number
- (877) 333-0866, the City's published IVR for debit/credit-card water-bill payments. The current rates page also lists (888) 288-5613 for phone payment; customers should use the number printed on the current bill if the two City pages differ. Utility Billing Customer Service is (239) 321-8100 and is identified as a 24-hour number.
- Pay-by-text
- Fort Myers promotes WaterSmart usage monitoring, leak alerts, usage comparisons, and conservation notices. The utility-billing pages do not publish a separate text-to-pay keyword or SMS payment enrollment sequence; the assessment report says the City sends daily texts, voicemails, and emails for three days before a scheduled disconnection. Customers should use the online utility account or call (239) 321-8100 for current payment-notification enrollment.
- Mail-in payment address
- City of Fort Myers Utilities Department, P.O. Box 30185, Tampa, FL 33630-3185. The City asks customers to allow an additional five to seven days for mailing and processing.

Lobby and drive-through hours are Monday–Friday 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m., excluding certain holidays. Customers can pay by in-person check, money order, cash, or accepted card; after-hours checks and money orders go in the night deposit on the north side of the drive-through. The City also provides online, IVR, bank-draft, and mail options.
- Digital payment methods
- The City accepts Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, and electronic check through its payment channels.
