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.
- Pay-by-text
- No verified text-to-pay keyword or enrollment sequence was identified. Customers should use CPWS's official account and payment pages and confirm any current notification enrollment directly with the utility.
- In-person payment
- CPWS operates under the City of Columbia Board of Public Utilities; the board room is at 201 Pickens Lane. The reviewed pages did not expose complete current billing-counter hours, drop-box locations, or accepted payment types, so customers should confirm before visiting.
