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
- InvoiceCloud
- Phone payment number
- 541-388-5515; Bend’s published payment instructions route account-payment assistance through Water Services Billing rather than a separate automated IVR number
- Pay-by-text
- Use the Sign Up to Pay by Text option in the InvoiceCloud customer portal. Bend describes text enrollment as free from the City, while standard carrier message and data charges may apply. The reviewed page does not publish a keyword; enrollment is completed through the portal account.
- Mail-in payment address
- City of Bend Water Services Payments, P.O. Box 34533, Seattle, WA 98124-1533. Include the statement coupon; checks should be payable to City of Bend. Do not mail cash.
- In-person payment
- The Water Services Billing office is at 639 NW Franklin Avenue, Bend, OR 97703, open Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m., excluding most major holidays. Customers may pay cash, check, or card in the lobby. Drop boxes are at the City Hall parking lot, 710 NW Wall Street, and outside the Franklin Avenue office; checks or money orders are appropriate and cash must not be placed in a drop box.
- Digital payment methods
- Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, bank account/EFT or eCheck, Google Pay, and PayPal. InvoiceCloud also supports automatic, recurring, and scheduled payments.
- Online convenience fees
- No City online convenience fee is stated on the reviewed current Bend payment page; the City says its automatic-payment service is free. Carrier text/data charges may still apply. Returned payments are separately charged $35.
