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
- Town of Hempstead online billing and payment service; the public Water Department page does not name the underlying processor.
- Phone payment number
- 516-259-8953 for secure 24/7 automated telephone payments; general billing questions use 516-794-8300.
- Pay-by-text
- The Town’s current Water Department page advertises Pay by Text through the online billing service. Customers enroll from the portal after registering an account; no public SMS keyword is published. The same service supports AutoPay and paperless billing.
- Mail-in payment address
- Town of Hempstead Water Department, 1995 Prospect Avenue, East Meadow, NY 11554. The Department’s applications page directs original documents and correspondence to the administrative office; customers should use the remittance address printed on the current bill for payment mailings.
- In-person payment
- The Water Department’s administrative office is at 1995 Prospect Avenue, East Meadow, New York. The public page provides the general department contact at 516-794-8300 and backflow desk hours of Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m.–3:30 p.m.; it does not publish a complete water-bill counter schedule. A blue drop box is available beside the stairs in front of the building for water forms/documents.
- Digital payment methods
- The Town’s online billing service advertises Apple Pay, Google Pay, Venmo, PayPal, and other available digital options, along with account-based AutoPay and Pay by Text. The live portal controls the complete current card/e-check list.
- Online convenience fees
- The Water Department page does not state a current 2026 online convenience-fee amount. A separate Town tax FAQ identifies eGov Strategies as a processor for tax payments, but that tax fee schedule should not be assumed to apply to water bills.
