- In-person payment
- The company does not publish one universal statewide walk-in payment counter. Customers can use the official payment-location map to find authorized retail payment locations and present the account-specific barcode and amount due; each authorized location controls its hours and accepted payment instruments. Pennsylvania American Water’s customer-service phone line is 1-800-565-7292, Monday–Friday 7:00 a.m.–7:00 p.m., and customers should confirm any office or retail location before visiting.
- Digital payment methods
- MyWater and guest bill pay accept one-time bank-account/electronic-check and credit-card payments. The 24/7 phone system accepts Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, and electronic check.
