Use MyWater if you want balance, bill history, alerts, usage and paperless billing. Use billpay if you want to pay without creating an account.

Phone and guest payments require the account number from your West Virginia American Water bill. Double-check all digits before submitting payment.
Choose online, phone, mail or barcode payment

Check the final fee and payment status

Save proof after payment
Keep the confirmation, date, amount, payment method and screenshot. If the bill is past due or service is at risk, contact West Virginia American Water instead of assuming the account updated instantly.

High Bill or Leak? Use the Leak-Adjustment Rules
Check usage first
MyWater lets customers view water usage. Compare daily or monthly usage before assuming the bill is only a rate change.

For leak adjustment, West Virginia American Water may require documentation such as repair receipts or contractor invoices.
Leak adjustment policyRequest in MyWater
The leak-adjustment page says customers can log in to MyWater, select Account Actions, then Request a Leak Adjustment.
Request through MyWater| Leak-adjustment rule | What it means for customers | Action link |
|---|---|---|
| Above 200% historical usage | The usage being adjusted must be above 200% of historical usage and caused by leakage on the customer side of the service point. | Read rule |
| Repair documentation | Receipts, plumber invoices or other proof can be required to show the leak was repaired. | Leak policy |
| Maximum two billing periods | Eligible adjustments are generally limited to the billing period in which the leak developed and the following period when it should have been repaired. | Adjustment terms |

West Virginia Customer Tips That Actually Help
Not every WV water bill is American Water
Some West Virginia towns use municipal utilities, PSDs or local wastewater providers. Match the company name on the bill before using MyWater or amwater.com/billpay.
Call during lower-wait windows
For non-urgent account issues, try Tuesday–Friday between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. The contact page warns Mondays and first business days can have longer waits.
Mail early from rural routes
Because the payment mailing address is in Pittsburgh, mailed payments need extra time. Do not mail close to the due date if service is already at risk.
High bill? Document the repair first
For leak adjustment, take photos, keep receipts, save plumber invoices and request the review in MyWater after the leak is fixed.

West Virginia American Water does not need most customers to visit an office for normal payment. Use MyWater, guest billpay, phone payment, mail payment or authorized barcode payment locations.
