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
- DivDat; Detroit's customer self-service and kiosk channels are linked from DWSD billing pages.
- Phone payment number
- 313-267-8000 for DWSD billing and payment assistance.
- Mail-in payment address
- Use the remittance address printed on the DWSD statement; the online billing page directs customers to the bill for payment routing.
- In-person payment
- DWSD states that in-person assistance is by appointment only at the downtown location and that its customer centers are otherwise closed; DivDat kiosks provide an alternate local payment channel. The reviewed page did not publish a complete current address-and-hours matrix or a universal desk payment list.
- Digital payment methods
- DWSD self-service and DivDat channels accept account payment instruments shown at checkout; the reviewed official pages did not enumerate every current card, ACH, or mobile-wallet type.
