How to Pay

Sign up for a My DEP Account

To pay your bill online, you can register for a My DEP Account. A My DEP Account is free and allows you to:

• pay your bill online
• receive your bills electronically
• review your billing history
• view and print your current bill or retrieve and print past bills
• track your water usage and sign up for online leak notifications
• submit forms online and track their status

To get started, head over to the My DEP Account login page and click “Sign-up” and then follow the prompts. Please note that to complete the sign-up process, you will need to enter your account number and your activation token, both of which are located on your water and wastewater bill. View a Sample Bill to see where you can locate your account number and activation token.

To avoid a debit block, we encourage corporate customers to contact their bank to add Paymentus Originator ID: 1020401225 to their exception list.
