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
- ePayUB / MyFargo online utility billing platform
- Phone payment number
- 1-701-401-9974, the City of Fargo’s 24/7 automated utility-payment line. Utility Billing customer support is 701-241-1324, and water-main emergencies are 701-241-1468 during business hours or 701-241-1469 after 4:00 p.m. and on weekends.
- Pay-by-text
- The current Fargo utility pages advertise online Quick Pay, account history, paperless statements, recurring payments, and automatic-payment enrollment, but do not publish a pay-by-text keyword, short code, or SMS enrollment flow. Customers should use the MyFargo portal or call Utility Billing at 701-241-1324 for any account-specific text-payment capability.
- Mail-in payment address
- City of Fargo Water Department, P.O. Box 1066, Fargo, ND 58107. The City cautions that mail is delivered to City Hall on weekdays except legal holidays and that it is not responsible for lost or delayed mail.

The City’s current delinquent-restoration policy limits payments to credit card, debit card, cash, or money order after water is disconnected; personal checks and online e-checks are not accepted for that restoration transaction. Meter Department staff no longer accept payments, and courtesy yellow cards are no longer left at residences.
- Digital payment methods
