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
- KUBRA EZ-PAY powers the Pittsburgh Water one-time payment flow; the Customer Advantage Portal is the utility's unified account and usage platform.
- Phone payment number
- Call (412) 255-2423 and press 2, or call the direct automated line (833) 660-1366. The IVR accepts a seven-digit account number, five-digit mailing ZIP Code, payment amount, and card/bank details; text receipts can be sent. Customer service is (412) 255-2423 option 5 and emergency dispatchers are available 24/7.
- Pay-by-text
- Pittsburgh Water supports free email/text usage and leak alerts through the Customer Advantage Portal and can send a custom pay-by-link URL by text or email when a customer calls (412) 255-2423 option 5. A pay-by-link recipient can choose Apple Pay, Google Pay, debit/credit card, or bank account. The public 2026 pages do not publish a standing SMS keyword for automatic recurring text-to-pay; customers should request the one-time secure link through Customer Service and never pay from an unsolicited message.
- Mail-in payment address
- Pittsburgh Water, ATTN: Customer Service, 1200 Penn Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15222 is the official correspondence and Zipcheck mailing address published for customer forms. For a mailed bill payment, follow the remittance address printed on the current bill and include the seven-digit account number; the accessible 2026 public page does not expose a separate payment lockbox address.
- In-person payment
- Pittsburgh Water's principal customer office is Penn Liberty Plaza I, 1200 Penn Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15222; public contact hours are 8:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. Monday-Friday, with emergency dispatchers available 24/7. Customers can pay cash through the EZ-Payslip network at 7-Eleven, Family Dollar, Dollar General, CVS Pharmacy, Walgreens, and Walmart Supercenter MoneyCenter locations by presenting the barcode on the bill; a $1.49 retail processing fee is added. The official public pages do not publish a complete staffed-counter card/cash schedule, so customers should call before visiting the office.
- Digital payment methods
- Residential customers can pay through the Customer Advantage/Paperless Billing Portal or one-time KUBRA EZ-PAY using credit card, debit card, or bank account. The phone IVR accepts the same general methods; Zipcheck provides free recurring bank-account deductions; a secure pay-by-link text/email can use Apple Pay, Google Pay, debit/credit card, or bank account. Paperless billing, autopay, account history, usage trends, and leak alerts are available after portal enrollment.
- Online convenience fees
- Pittsburgh Water's 2026 public online-payment page does not state a residential card or ACH convenience fee. Commercial customers are expressly warned that a third-party service fee applies to phone payments, while Zipcheck is free to customers apart from any bank charges. EZ-Payslip retail cash payments add a $1.49 processing fee. Customers should review the KUBRA checkout disclosure for any account-specific processor fee before confirming a digital payment.
