Are you tired of stressing about how to pay your North Perry water bill? I’ve been there too! Let me walk you through all the super easy ways to make your payments without the hassle. Whether you prefer paying online, by phone, or even dropping off your payment in person, North Perry Water District offers plenty of convenient options that fit your lifestyle.
Online Payment Options – The Most Convenient Way
I personally love using online payments because they’re so quick! North Perry Avenue Water District has partnered with Invoice Cloud to make paying your water bill online easier than ever. Here’s what makes their online portal awesome:
- No fees for online payments (unlike some other utilities that charge extra)
- Option to review your account details before paying
- Email notifications when your bill is ready
- Confirmation emails after your payment goes through
- Ability to set up recurring payments so you never forget
To get started with online payments, just visit the Invoice Cloud portal through the North Perry Water District website. You’ll need to create an account first, but it only takes a few minutes. The process is super straightforward – even my grandma could do it!
Quick Tip: There's a $1000 per transaction limit when using debit or credit cards, so keep that in mind if you have a larger bill to pay.Auto-Pay: Set It and Forget It
If your like me and constantly forgetting due dates the Auto-Pay option is a lifesaver! You can set up automatic payments to be deducted from your bank account or credit/debit card. The system will automatically take your payment 5 days before the due date.
Important note: Auto Pay is only available to property owners, not tenants or renters. To set it up, you’ll need to create an account through the Invoice Cloud service and follow their instructions.
Phone Payment System – Pay From Anywhere
Sometimes I’m too busy to sit down at my computer, so I love that North Perry offers phone payment options. For security purposes, they only accept payments through their automated system (not with live representatives).
You can make phone payments 24/7 by:
- Calling 844-943-3985 directly
- Calling the office at 360-373-9508 and pressing option 3
When paying by phone, you can use:
- Debit or credit card (Visa, MasterCard, or Discover Debit)
- Electronic check (make sure to have your routing number from your paper check handy!)
Mail-In Payments – The Traditional Route
If you’re old-school like my dad you might prefer mailing in your payment. Just send your check or money order to
North Perry Avenue Water DistrictP.O. Box 24809Seattle WA 98124-0809Always include your account number on your check and/or remittance stub so they can properly credit your account. And please don’t mail cash – it’s not secure!
WARNING If you’ve received a disconnect notice, don’t mail your payment! The District might not receive it in time before they lock your meter. Instead use one of the faster payment methods like online, phone or in-person payments.
Drop Box and In-Person Payments
North Perry Water District has made it super convenient to pay in person too. You can:
- Visit during office hours: Monday – Thursday, 7:30am – 4:45pm
- Use the after-hours drop box located near the front door (payments received after midnight will be posted the next business day)
The physical address is:

Accepted Payment Methods
North Perry Water District accepts several forms of payment:
- Cash (in-person only – never mail cash!)
- Personal checks
- Money orders
- Credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Discover)
- Debit cards
Best of all, there are no extra fees charged when paying in person, online, or via their automated phone system. That’s a big plus compared to some other utilities!
Understanding Billing Cycles and Delinquent Accounts
When dealing with your water bill, it’s important to understand the billing cycle and what happens if you miss a payment. While North Perry has its own policies, let me share some general information about water district billing:
Quarterly vs. Monthly Bills
Some water districts operate on different billing cycles. For example:
Quarterly Billing:
- Bills typically become delinquent 30 days after the billing date
- A 10% late penalty may be added after the due date
- If unpaid 45 days after billing, a 15-day cut-off notice might be issued
Monthly Billing:
- Bills often become delinquent 15 days after the billing date
- A 10% late penalty may be added after the due date
- If unpaid 16 days after billing, a 10-day cut-off notice might be issued
What to Do If You’re Having Trouble Paying
We all go through tough financial times. If you’re struggling to pay your water bill, don’t panic! Here are some options:
- Contact customer service – They may be able to work out a payment plan
- Check for assistance programs – Many water districts offer help for those in need
- Look into leak adjustments – If your bill is unusually high due to a leak, you might qualify for an adjustment
Tips for Managing Your Water Bill
Here are some practical tips we’ve found helpful for managing water bills:
- Sign up for paperless billing – Get your bills via email so you never miss one
- Set calendar reminders – Mark your due dates on your calendar or set up phone alerts
- Check for leaks regularly – A small leak can lead to a big bill
- Consider budget billing – Some utilities offer programs that average your bills throughout the year
Why I Love North Perry’s Online Payment System
When I first moved to the area, I was still writing checks for all my bills (I know, so old-fashioned!). Then my neighbor showed me how easy it was to pay online, and I’ve never looked back. The Invoice Cloud system that North Perry uses is super intuitive, and I love getting email confirmations so I know exactly when my payment went through.
The pay-by-text feature is particularly awesome for busy people. You get a text when your bill is ready, and you can pay right from your phone with a few taps. No more digging through piles of mail or forgetting due dates!

I’ve personally found the online system to be the most convenient, but it’s great to have alternatives like phone payments or the drop box when needed.
