Payments received BEFORE 5:00 pm will be given same-day credit to the water account. Payments received AFTER 5:00 pm will be processed the following business day.

If your account is locked due to non-payment of a past-due bill, SJWTX will restore service within 36 hours after payment is posted, which could be the next business day. Service will only be restored during business hours.

Auto Pay

No more late fees or forgetting to pay your bill. Sign up today for worry-free automatic water bill payments. As part of our transition to Invoice Cloud, customers will be able to sign up and maintain their auto-pay service. 

All customers enrolled in auto-pay before March 30, 2022, will need to re-enroll in the auto-pay service for security reasons.

Use these tips for a smooth payment process:

• Include the remittance coupon (payments without a coupon may experience delayed payment processing)
• Do not mail cash
• Make checks payable to "SJWTX" or "CLWSC"

• Write your SJWTX account number on the check

Billing Cycle 2
