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
- Liberty My Account; the reviewed Liberty New York payment page identifies the branded portal but does not name the underlying vendor.
- Phone payment number
- 877-426-6999, Liberty New York Water customer-service/payment number listed for New York customers; the reviewed public material does not identify a separate Merrick IVR.
- Pay-by-text
- Liberty’s customer pages support paperless billing and account notifications. The reviewed Merrick/NY Water pages do not publish a text-to-pay keyword or a current SMS enrollment sequence.
- In-person payment
- Liberty has authorized payment agents across New York, and its official page directs customers to CheckFreePay’s location finder. The reviewed Merrick page does not expose a fixed local counter address or hours; customers should use only authorized agents and confirm whether a convenience fee applies.
- Digital payment methods
- Liberty My Account electronic payment and authorized payment locations; the reviewed current pages do not enumerate all card brands, ACH/e-check, or mobile wallets for Merrick. Liberty’s 2026 rate request proposes elimination of electronic-payment transaction fees, but that proposal is not treated as an effective tariff here.
