For your convenience, there are a variety of ways to pay your water bill: 

1. ONLINE WEB PAYMENT PORTAL  Sign into/create your account here. You will need your current account number and a phone number before you begin. When entering the phone number do not use any spaces or special characters; just enter the number with the area code.
    
2. Use PAYMENTUS CORPORATION, a third party automated payment service, to pay online or by phone -any time - 24/7 - using your credit card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover), debit card or electronic check. PAYMENTUS will charge a $3.25 service fee* for each transaction up to $200.00. 
   You can access the secure website for this service at: https://ipn.paymentus.com/otp/stde/locs or the automated telephone payment service at 1-877-281-2977 which will guide you through the payment process.
   You will need:
       - your 5-digit account number located on your bill

   *Why a service fee? Credit card companies charge fees to process credit card payments, these fees are included in the fee charged by PAYMENTUS, which also pays for their part in processing the payment.  LOCSD does not receive any part of the service fee, nor does the LOCSD incur any costs associated with this service.
