During the week of May 30 to June 2, Water Management's Cashiering Service at its Mist Lake Facility will be closed for construction. During the temporary closure, utility customers can pay their utility bill in person at City Hall (101 City Hall Plaza, Durham, NC 27701) Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. and on Fridays from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The Mist Lake Facility will reopen with its regular hours on Monday, June 5.
There are several ways to pay your bill:
- Utility payments can be made online at the City’s customer billing and account portal.
- Pay by phone - call 919-560-1200, Option 1.
- Pay by cash at the cashiering counter at Mist Lake, 1600 Mist Lake Drive, or at City Hall.
- Western Union. In addition to existing methods of payment online, by phone, and in person, we've teamed with Western Union to set up Authorized Cash Payment Locations near where you live and work. Now you can go any one of Western Union's 40 Durham locations to pay your water bill. They're open seven days a week and in the evenings, which should be more convenient for residents who like to pay with cash but without the trip to City Hall. (You will be asked to provide account details the first time you use this service.)
