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
- Salt Lake City Public Utilities Customer Account Portal; the public City portal does not separately identify an outside payment processor.
- Phone payment number
- Pay by phone through (801) 483-6900 Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. The same customer-service number handles billing and turn-on/turn-off questions; the 24-hour water/sewer/stormwater emergency line is (801) 483-6700.
- Pay-by-text
- The Public Utilities Customer Portal supports email and account notifications and the City advertises water-use charts and alerts, but the current public payment instructions do not publish an automatic text-to-pay keyword or SMS debit flow. Customers can register with the account number, house number or last name, one identity verifier such as DOB/last four SSN/Tax ID/driver license, email, and password, then enable available account notifications. Record direct text-to-pay as not publicly documented and use the official portal or phone number for payment authorization.
- Mail-in payment address
- Salt Lake City Public Utilities, P.O. Box 840173, Los Angeles, CA 90084-0173. Include the payment stub and account number and send a check or money order as directed on the current bill; do not mail cash.
- In-person payment
- Salt Lake City Public Utilities Customer Service, 1530 S. West Temple, Salt Lake City, UT 84115, is open 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. Monday-Friday. The portal lists an in-person payment option at that office and a payment drop box near the fire hydrant on the north side of 1530 S. West Temple. A second drop box is at Key Bank Sugarhouse Office, 2299 S. Highland Drive, Salt Lake City, UT 84106. The SLC Treasurer's Office at City & County Building, 451 S. State Street, is also listed for in-person payment. Customers should confirm accepted cards, cash, checks, and holiday closures with Public Utilities before visiting.
- Digital payment methods
- The City payment portal supports online bill payment, multiple accounts, automatic withdrawal, e-statements, account history, and water-use charts. The public page does not enumerate the exact current card brands or digital wallets; bank-account/electronic withdrawal is supported and customers should verify available card options at checkout. Pay-by-phone is available through (801) 483-6900. The City does not publish Apple Pay, Google Pay, or a distinct text-to-pay method as a standard current option.
- Online convenience fees
- The current Salt Lake City Public Utilities payment page does not display a fixed 2026 online card, ACH, or percentage convenience fee in accessible public text. Customers should treat the processor charge as not publicly documented until the portal presents the account-specific amount and review it before submitting. Any current fee schedule may be updated annually through the City's consolidated fee schedule.
