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
- Accelerated Innovations MyMeter, with InvoiceCloud used for the linked one-time payment path
- Phone payment number
- (515) 283-8700; the utility’s billing materials identify this customer-service number for the automated phone payment system. The customer must enter the 7-digit Customer Number and 6-digit Account Number, including the hyphen when required by the prompt.
- Pay-by-text
- DMWW’s billing-system announcement says customers can enroll for pay-by-text when making an online payment or from the registered account profile. The service sends bill notifications and permits payment by text using the customer’s default payment method; the reviewed pages do not publish a separate keyword or short code, so enrollment is completed inside the MyAccount/InvoiceCloud workflow.
- Mail-in payment address
- Des Moines Water Works, 2201 George Flagg Parkway, Des Moines, IA 50321. Customers should use the payment remittance address printed on the current statement when it differs from the utility’s physical headquarters and allow sufficient postal time before the due date.
- In-person payment
- The principal DMWW facility is at 2201 George Flagg Parkway, Des Moines, Iowa 50321. The reviewed current materials confirm automated and online payment channels but do not publish a complete 2026 cashier counter schedule or a consolidated list of walk-in payment locations. Customers should call (515) 283-8700 before visiting to confirm whether in-person payments, drop-box service, and particular payment instruments are available at the headquarters or through the community whose bill is consolidated by DMWW.
- Digital payment methods
- The current online system supports one-time and registered payments, electronic check/ACH, credit card, debit card, AutoPay, recurring scheduled payments, and bill-payment by text after enrollment. DMWW’s published system notice states that ACH and electronic-check transactions are free, while card transactions are processed through the third-party payment platform.
- Online convenience fees
- The current published schedule of charges lists a $2.95 credit-card convenience charge for website or telephone payments by a third-party processor. Electronic-check/ACH payments are identified by DMWW as no-fee in its payment-system materials. Customers should verify the checkout disclosure if the processor changes the charge during 2026.
