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
- American Water MyWater; Paymentus is the published pay-by-phone/guest-payment processor
- Phone payment number
- 1-855-748-6066 (24/7 automated payment line); customer service and emergencies: 1-800-272-1325
- Pay-by-text
- New Jersey American Water uses text alerts rather than a published text-to-pay workflow. Customers can update alert preferences in MyWater; the company’s local customer-transition pages instruct customers to text WATER to 24639 for emergency alerts. Standard text and data rates may apply. No text-to-pay keyword or payment authorization flow is currently published.
- Mail-in payment address
- Payment: New Jersey American Water, P.O. Box 371331, Pittsburgh, PA 15250-7331. Correspondence: New Jersey American Water, 1 Water Street, Camden, NJ 08102.
- In-person payment
- New Jersey American Water directs customers to its online Payment Locations directory or to customer service for authorized payment locations. The current Ocean City rates and contact pages do not list a dedicated Ocean City walk-in counter or hours; customers should use the authorized-location directory and confirm accepted tender before traveling.
- Digital payment methods
- MyWater supports online bill payment, account management, paperless billing, alerts, and automatic payments. The published pay-by-phone instructions specifically reference Visa and Mastercard, while the company’s payment materials also describe e-check/ACH and Paymentus processing. Exact instruments available in a particular 2026 checkout are controlled by the live MyWater/Paymentus screen.
- Online convenience fees
- The current New Jersey customer-service page says a small fee applies to pay-by-phone payments but does not print the current 2026 amount. A prior official customer guide identified Paymentus at $1.95 per e-check, credit-card, or debit-card transaction; because the live page no longer states that amount, treat the current fee as checkout-displayed and verify before paying.
