Your New Raleigh Water Billing Portal Is Live

Managing your utility account just got easier. Raleigh Water has launched Raleigh Water Self-Service, a new digital portal that allows customers to pay bills, track service requests, and manage multiple accounts from any device.

Three Things to Know

  • Action Required: To pay your bill online, you must create an account in the new portal. AutoPay users: You must re-enroll in the new system to ensure your payments remain automatic.
  • The Deadline: Late fees and service disconnections will resume March 2, 2026. Registering today helps ensure your account stays current.
  • What You'll Need: Have your account number (found on your bill), ZIP code, email address, and mobile phone ready. Registration takes only a few minutes.

Bank Draft vs. AutoPay: What's the Difference?

It is important to know which service you use, as one requires action and the other does not:

Service Definition Action Required?
Bank Draft Payments arranged through your personal bank's bill-pay service. No. Your current setup will continue to work.
AutoPay Recurring payments set up directly through the previous Raleigh Water portal. Yes. You must re-enroll in the new portal before your next due date.

Note for AutoPay Users: Once active, the new system will process all charges, including past-due amounts, starting with your next billing cycle. Because late fees resume March 2, please verify your balance if you have missed recent payments.
