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
- Invoice Cloud (new 2026 portal); Paymentus remains the City-listed fallback payment provider during the transition
- Phone payment number
- 903-531-1230, select Option 1 for the City payment system, available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year for debit card, credit card, or e-check payments. The transition notice also lists the Paymentus fallback number 833-241-1675.
- Pay-by-text
- Tyler launched Invoice Cloud in June 2026 with email and text reminders containing quick-pay links and a pay-by-text option. Customers create or access a MyTylerUtilities.com profile, then follow the portal prompts to manage notifications and saved payment preferences. The City does not publish a text keyword or SMS short code on its utility page.
- Mail-in payment address
- City of Tyler Water, P.O. Box 336, Tyler, TX 75710. The official utility page lists this as the mailing address for bill payments; customers should use the remittance instructions and account information on the statement.
- In-person payment
- Tyler Water Utilities Business Office, 511 W. Locust St., Tyler, TX 75702, Monday through Friday 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM except holidays. The west-side drive-through kiosk operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week; it accepts cash without dispensing change, along with cards, checks, and money orders. Two drop boxes accept checks or money orders: the main box at 511 W. Locust and a second box in the Rice Road Brookshires parking lot near the mailboxes. Both are emptied at 8:00 AM Monday through Friday, and payments deposited after that time post the next business day. Tyler also lists numerous authorized offsite payment merchants whose payments are received the next business day.
- Digital payment methods
- The current Invoice Cloud announcement lists debit and credit cards, checking-account or card Auto Pay, e-check, Apple Pay, Google Pay, tap-to-pay, and text-linked quick payment. Tyler also supports multiple-account management in one portal login. The legacy/current utility page lists debit card, credit card, and e-check phone payments.
- Online convenience fees
- The City of Tyler states that it will continue covering transaction fees for digital payment methods in the new Invoice Cloud system, so no online card, wallet, or e-check convenience fee is published for 2026. Separate utility charges still apply for connection, late notice, delinquent disconnection, returned payment, and other service actions.
