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
- MyMeter for account management and Fiserv BillMatrix for online and IVR payment processing.
- Phone payment number
- 972-205-2671; select option 3 for the automated Fiserv voice-assisted payment portal, available 24/7. Customer-service representatives generally answer Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.; after-hours reconnection service has a separate weekday schedule.
- Pay-by-text
- The City of Garland publishes online account, paperless-bill, and automatic-bank-draft options but the reviewed 2026 utility materials do not document a general water text-to-pay keyword, enrollment shortcode, or reply-to-pay sequence. Customers should use the MyMeter portal or the verified Fiserv IVR instead of responding to unsolicited payment texts.
- Mail-in payment address
- City of Garland Utilities, P.O. Box 469002, Garland, TX 75046. Customers should include the current 16-digit utility account number and use check or money order; the city warns that a payment is not credited until received under the applicable mailing and processing rules.
- In-person payment
- Walk-in payments and account assistance are available at the Charles E. Duckworth Utility Services Building, 217 N. Fifth Street, Garland, TX 75040, Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. Drive-through payment and a drop box are at 717 W. State Street, Garland, TX 75040, Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m.; the drop box is in the far-left lane and accepts check or money order, not cash. Authorized Western Union cash locations post payments within minutes and charge a $1.50 convenience fee. City counters accept cash, check, or money order.
- Digital payment methods
- Fiserv BillMatrix accepts Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express credit cards; bank-issued ATM or debit cards carrying Star, Pulse, NYCE, or Accel; and ACH payments from checking, savings, or money-market accounts. MyMeter supports account viewing, scheduled payments, automatic bank draft, paperless billing, and usage graphs. Prepaid debit cards are not accepted by the Fiserv service.
- Online convenience fees
- Residential Fiserv online or IVR transactions cost $2.00 per payment up to $1,000. Commercial transactions cost 3% per payment up to $2,500. The city does not receive the fee; transaction limits mean a larger balance may require multiple fee-bearing payments. Western Union authorized cash locations charge $1.50.
