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
- KUBRA EZ-PAY for guest card/check payments; SAWS My Account is the authenticated account-management portal
- Phone payment number
- 210-704-7297
- Pay-by-text
- No SAWS-specific text-to-pay keyword or SMS enrollment workflow is published on the current SAWS payment pages. KUBRA's payment service supports optional SMS receipts and payment-due/other alerts: after account lookup and payment, a customer can provide a mobile number and select the available receipt or alert options; message frequency depends on account activity, message and data rates may apply, HELP requests help, and STOP opts out. This should not be represented as a confirmed SAWS text-to-pay capability without direct provider confirmation.
- Mail-in payment address
- San Antonio Water System, P.O. Box 650989, Dallas, TX 75265-0989. Use the return envelope with the paper bill; personal checks, traveler’s checks, and money orders are accepted by mail, and cash is not accepted.
- In-person payment
- SAWS lists two customer service centers for in-person payments and account assistance, both open Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.: West Side Customer Center, Las Palmas Shopping Center, 803 Castroville Rd., Suite 406, San Antonio, TX 78237; and East Side Customer Center, Comerica Building, 403 South W.W. White Road, San Antonio, TX 78219. Counter payment types include cash, personal check, traveler’s check, money order, and debit/credit card. SAWS also accepts payments through selected partner pay agencies; the SAWS headquarters at 2800 U.S. Hwy 281 North is an administrative office and does not accept bill payments.
- Digital payment methods
- KUBRA accepts Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express credit/debit cards, plus payments from a checking or savings account through the ACH/electronic-transfer channel. SAWS automatic direct debit from a checking or savings account is free. Apple Pay and Google Pay are not identified on the current SAWS payment page and are therefore not publicly documented.
- Online convenience fees
- $1.85 per $500 payment for residential accounts and $1.85 per $300 payment for commercial accounts through the KUBRA EZ-PAY card-payment service. The SAWS automatic direct-debit option is described as free; any other processor or bank charges should be confirmed at checkout.
