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 public New York Water payment page does not identify a separate processor.
- Phone payment number
- 1-877-426-6999, 24/7 automated credit/debit-card payment line; TDD 711.
- Pay-by-text
- Enroll in Liberty My Account and Paperless Billing to receive an email or text when the bill is available; the reviewed New York Water payment page does not publish a text-to-pay keyword or SMS payment command.
- Mail-in payment address
- Liberty - New York, P.O. Box 75463, Chicago, IL 60675-5463. Checks or money orders should be sent with the bill stub; wrong addresses may delay posting and cause late fees.
- In-person payment
- Liberty has authorized payment agents across New York and directs customers to its location search; participating no-fee agents accept cash and other authorized payment instruments. The reviewed utility page does not publish a Merrick walk-in office schedule.
- Digital payment methods
- Credit/debit card online or by phone, fee-free checking-account payment through My Account, scheduled payments, and bank bill pay. The card payment page lists Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express.
- Online convenience fees
- $1.75 processing fee for vendor-handled credit/debit-card payments; My Account checking-account payments are fee-free. Liberty’s 2026 rate-update page also discusses elimination of electronic-payment transaction fees, but the payment-options page still states the $1.75 card fee for the reviewed workflow.
