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 Hall Systems
- Phone payment number
- 508-381-5455 for City Hall Systems credit-card payments by phone; the City identifies this as the third-party payment service rather than the Water Billing office.
- Pay-by-text
- No water-bill text-to-pay enrollment procedure was published. Framingham's Ready Framingham emergency-alert system accepts the keyword Framingham sent to 38276, but that is an emergency notification service and must not be represented as payment enrollment.
- Mail-in payment address
- Treasurer/Collector, City of Framingham, 150 Concord Street, Room 111, Framingham, MA 01702. Water and Sewer Billing's operating office is at 100 Western Avenue, Framingham, MA 01702; customers should use the remittance address printed on the bill when it differs.
- In-person payment
- Water and Sewer Billing is located at the DPW, 100 Western Avenue, Framingham, MA 01702, open Monday, Wednesday and Thursday 8:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m., Tuesday 8:00 a.m.-6:30 p.m. and Friday 8:00 a.m.-1:30 p.m. Payment and overdue-account questions are handled by the Treasurer/Collector at City Hall, 150 Concord Street, Room 111, with public hours Monday/Wednesday/Thursday 8:30 a.m.-5:00 p.m., Tuesday 8:30 a.m.-7:00 p.m. and Friday 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. The City does not publish a complete counter instrument list on the reviewed pages.
- Digital payment methods
- The official online-payment page confirms water and sewer payments through City Hall Systems and credit-card payments by phone; the billing system supports electronic payment enrollment. The reviewed page does not enumerate every card brand or confirm Apple Pay/Google Pay, so those are not asserted here.
- Online convenience fees
- The City states that the same third-party fees apply to online and phone City Hall Systems payments, but the reviewed official page does not publish the 2026 flat fee or percentage. The exact amount should be read from the payment checkout before authorization.
