Payment plan

Baltimore Water Bill Payment Plan Through PromisePay

Baltimore City DPW works with PromisePay to offer payment plans for water bill balances of $50 or more. PromisePay describes the plans as interest-free with flexible payment options and schedules.

Use the official Baltimore DPW PromisePay portal if your account has a water bill balance and you need a structured plan instead of paying the full amount at once.

1

Open the PromisePay portal

Go to Baltimore DPW PromisePay.

2

Enter account and customer number

PromisePay asks for the account and customer number from your bill.

3

Enter billing ZIP code

Use the billing ZIP code connected to the water account.

4

Review available options

Review flexible schedule options and select the plan you can realistically maintain.

5

Save plan confirmation

Keep a copy of your plan terms, confirmation, payment schedule and support contact details.

Practical tip: PromisePay help is listed at 410-779-9808, Monday through Friday, 8:30 AMโ€“4:30 PM ET. Use that support line for PromisePay portal or plan questions.
Bill assistance

Water4All and Baltimore Water Bill Assistance

If you are struggling to pay, check Baltimore Cityโ€™s water assistance resources and call billing support before the account becomes more difficult to manage. Baltimore DPW has promoted Water4All assistance for eligible customers, and payment plans are available through PromisePay for qualifying balances.

Before applying for help, gather your water bill, account number, household information, income documents if required, current balance and any shutoff or collection notice.

Before asking for help

  • Have your water bill account number ready.
  • Know the exact past-due balance.
  • Ask about Water4All or current assistance programs.
  • Ask whether a PromisePay plan is available.
  • Keep confirmation numbers and representative notes.
  • Do not ignore a notice because you submitted an application.
Helpful tip: Assistance and payment plans are easier to manage before final collection pressure. Call early, keep proof of every payment, and save every email or letter.
High bill help

High Baltimore Water Bill, Usage History and Leak Review

Baltimoreโ€™s DPW customer self-service portal can help customers monitor water consumption, billing history and payment history. It can also support unusual-use alerts when customers sign up for available portal features.

If your bill looks unusually high, compare current consumption with earlier bills before paying blindly. A sudden jump may come from running toilets, leaking faucets, underground leaks, irrigation use, estimated billing adjustments, longer billing period or an account issue.

Before calling about a high water bill

  • Check billing history and consumption history in the DPW portal.
  • Compare current usage with the previous few months.
  • Check toilets for silent running.
  • Check faucets, hose bibs, irrigation and basement/crawlspace leaks.
  • Look for wet ground or a constantly moving meter indicator.
  • Call billing support if the usage still does not make sense.
Insider-style tip: If you find a leak, repair it quickly and keep photos, receipts and repair dates. Good documentation helps when discussing billing questions or adjustment documentation.
Service issues

Baltimore Water Service Issues, Leaks, No Water and 311

For urgent water service problems, leaks, no water, sewer complaints or other city service issues, use Baltimore Cityโ€™s official service request route or call 311. For billing questions, use the water billing support route instead.

Do not use a bill-payment portal to report an active leak or public water emergency. Payment portals handle accounts and payments; service issues need a city service request or direct DPW support route.

Service request

Use Baltimore 311 for water service issues, leaks, no water or city service complaints.

Billing support
