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
- HansenCX Customer Information System (Kingsport Utilities web portal)
- Phone payment number
- (423) 343-9860; the official payment page identifies this as the 24/7 automated payment system and also uses it for customer service and Grace AI account assistance.
- Pay-by-text
- The City's current payment page does not publish a complete text-to-pay keyword or enrollment sequence. A 2024 CIS presentation describes pay-by-text as an available new-system capability, but customers should enroll only from the authenticated Kingsport Utilities portal or app and verify the current SMS terms before use.
- Mail-in payment address
- City of Kingsport, P.O. Box 880, Kingsport, TN 37662. Customers should use the return envelope included with the water bill when available and include the payment stub/account number.
- In-person payment
- City Hall, 415 Broad Street, Kingsport, Tennessee, Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. The same address has a 24/7 self-service JACK payment kiosk in drive-thru lane 1 and a payment drop box in drive-thru lane 2, accessible from New Street. The City page says the kiosk/drop box and staffed counter accept the City's published bill-payment methods; cash retail barcode payments are also available at CVS, Walgreens, Dollar General and Walmart with a $2.95 retail transaction charge.
- Digital payment methods
- Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express credit/debit cards; checking or savings accounts; PayPal, PayPal Credit, Venmo, Apple Pay and Google Pay. AutoPay/bank draft must be re-enrolled in the new CIS after the 2026 system transition.
