Payment channels

Pay City of Georgetown Utilities / Customer Care

Use the provider’s verified online, telephone, mail, or counter instructions. Check the final confirmation screen for the amount, processing date, and any transaction fee before submitting.

Primary online route

Use the official payment portal

The direct portal is the fastest route when it is available. The provider identifies its payment gateway as City of Georgetown Customer Self-Service (CSS); vendor not named on the customer-facing payment page. Never enter account credentials into a lookalike site reached through an unsolicited message.

Open payment portal ↗

Telephone payment

Phone IVR

1-855-347-0509, automated payment system available 24/7. Customers need the account number; agents cannot accept payments by phone.

Have your account number and payment instrument ready. Follow the provider’s recorded prompts and retain the confirmation number.

Alternative channels

Mail, text, and in-person payment instructions

Pay by text

The City’s CSS account tools include Sign Up for Pay-by-Text. A customer registers or signs in at css.georgetowntexas.gov, adds or verifies the utility account and contact information, and uses the portal’s pay-by-text enrollment option. The current public help articles confirm the feature but do not publish a separate SMS keyword, short code, message frequency, or a text-payment-card entry sequence; those implementation details should be shown by the portal during enrollment.

Mail-in address

City of Georgetown utility payments are mailed to PO Box 200662, Dallas, TX 75320-0662. This is the City’s current payment-processing address, distinct from the Georgetown Customer Care office. Customers should use the account number and payment stub and allow carrier/processor time for delivery.

Counters, drop boxes, and office hours

In-office payments are accepted at 300 Industrial Ave., Building 1, Georgetown, TX 78626, Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Accepted desk instruments are cash, credit/debit card (American Express is not accepted), money orders, and checks. The drive-through drop box is at 300 Industrial Ave., Building 1, Drive-Thru Lane 2; no cash may be placed in the box, and payments are processed during regular business hours. Checks are not accepted after nonpayment disconnection or on accounts with an NSF history. Large multiple commercial payments are directed to the Dallas processor.

Accepted digital instruments

What you can use online

The current City payment guide lists e-check; credit/debit card except American Express; PayPal; Venmo; Amazon Pay; Google Pay; Walmart Pay; and Apple Pay. Customers can use QuickPay without signing in or the CSS portal for registered payments, wallet management, paperless billing, service requests, and usage data. Bank bill-pay is also supported, with typical bank processing of one to three business days. The City’s current payment guide does not disclose card-brand-specific online convenience charges.

2026 transaction pricing

Convenience fees

A dedicated this detail was not publicly posted. Not stated in the current Georgetown payment guide or CSS quick-pay page reviewed. The City lists the accepted electronic methods but does not publish an exact 2026 flat fee or percentage surcharge for online card, wallet, or e-check transactions. Customers should review the final portal confirmation before authorizing payment.

Fees can vary by payment type, channel, account class, and processor terms. The checkout screen is the final fee disclosure.

Payment guidance

Choose the payment channel that fits your deadline

The safest payment path is the one published by City of Georgetown Utilities / Customer Care and matched to the account information on your bill. Online portals are convenient, but telephone, mail, counter, and drop-box options may follow different posting schedules and may use different fees.

For a routine payment, save the final confirmation page or IVR number and check when the transaction will post. For a same-day shut-off notice, do not assume that submitting a card payment automatically stops a field order; ask the provider what amount and confirmation are required.

Never send your account number, password, card details, or bank information to Water Ledger. Those details belong only on the provider’s verified payment channel or at an authorized counter.
