The Las Vegas Valley gets about 90 percent of its water from the Colorado River, which is facing the worst drought in the river basins recorded history.
Thanks to the adoption of innovative programs and water conservation measures, Las Vegas has reduced the community’s Colorado River consumption and significantly reduced the impact of new development on our water supply.
With no end to the drought in sight, however, achieving further reductions in water use has taken on a new sense of urgency.
For more than a half century, the Water District and its customers have been investing in one of the nations most reliable water delivery systems. That investment has paid off. Instances of water main breaks in Southern Nevada are below the national average and our water system has an efficiency rating that is considered world-class.
Have you ever been stuck wondering how to pay your Las Vegas Valley Water District bill? Trust me I’ve been there too! Last month, I forgot to pay mine until the very last minute and had to scramble to figure out the fastest payment method. To save you from that panic, I’ve put together this comprehensive guide on all the ways you can pay your LVVWD water bill.
What is Las Vegas Valley Water District?
Before diving into payment methods, let’s quickly cover what LVVWD actually is. The Las Vegas Valley Water District is a public utility that provides reliable water services throughout Las Vegas. They handle everything from resource management to water treatment, distribution, and quality monitoring. If you live in Las Vegas or surrounding areas, chances are they’re your water provider.
Online Payment Options for LVVWD Bills
In today’s digital world, online payment is probably the most convenient option for most of us. LVVWD offers several ways to pay online
My Account Portal
The easiest way to manage your LVVWD payments is through their My Account portal:
- Login required: You need to register an account first
- Payment methods: Credit cards or bank accounts
- Additional features: View your bill, schedule automatic monthly payments, view payment history, download past bills, switch to paperless billing, and manage your service
Keep in mind that My Account might not be available during maintenance periods, typically Saturdays from 11 00 pm to Sundays at 3 00 a.m.
LVVWD Mobile App
For those of us who prefer using our phones for everything:
- Available on Google Play and Apple App Store
- Requires registration through My Account first
- Manage payments on the go
- Access your account information anytime, anywhere
I personally use the app for most of my payments – it’s super convenient when I’m traveling!
One-Time Payments Online
Don’t want to create an account? No problem! You can still make one-time payments online:
- No registration required
- Accept credit cards or debit cards with credit card symbols
- Note: Your bill will NOT be displayed with this option
- Payments post in 1-3 business days
Third-Party Services like doxo
Services like doxo also offer payment options for LVVWD bills:
- All-in-one bill pay service
- Payment options include Visa, MasterCard, Discover, Apple Pay, or bank account
- Free payments with linked bank accounts (fees may apply for other payment methods)
- Manage multiple bills in one place
It’s important to note that doxo is not affiliated with LVVWD – they’re a separate service that facilitates payments.
Phone Payment Options
Sometimes it’s just easier to make a quick phone call. LVVWD offers a 24/7 voice-response system:
- Call 702-870-4194 from the phone number listed in your account
- When prompted, say “make a payment”
- Follow the system instructions
If you’re calling from a different number, be prepared to verify your identity using two of these:
- The phone number associated with your account
- Your account number
- Last four digits of the primary account holder’s social security number
The phone system accepts Visa, Discover, MasterCard, American Express, and Diners Club International cards.
In-Person Payment Options
Self-Service Kiosks
LVVWD has self-service kiosks available 24/7:
- Located at 1001 S. Valley View Blvd., Las Vegas, NV 89107
- Both walk-up and drive-up kiosks available
- Accept checks, debit cards (with credit card logos), and major credit cards
- Indoor kiosk also accepts cash (outdoor kiosks do not)
Big Bend Water District customers can use the kiosk at 1520 Thomas Edison Drive.
Lobby Payments
If you prefer talking to a real person:
- Visit during business hours: Monday–Thursday, 8 a.m.–5 p.m.
- Pay with cash, check, debit card (with credit card logo), or major credit cards
Grocery Stores and Retail Outlets
Need to pay while doing your shopping? Many local stores accept LVVWD payments:
- Albertson’s
- Smith’s Grocery
- Walgreen’s
- Walmart
- Western Union locations (even out of town)
Remember that payments at these locations take approximately 2-3 business days to post, sometimes up to 5 days. I’d recommend paying at least 5 days before your due date if using these options.
Mail Payment Option
The traditional way still works! Mail your payment to:
Las Vegas Valley Water District
P.O. Box 2921
Phoenix, AZ 85062-2921
Payment Methods Accepted
LVVWD accepts a wide range of payment methods:
- Cash (in-person only)

- Diners Club International (with Discover or MasterCard logo)
- Bank accounts (for online payments)
What If You’re Having Trouble Paying?
If you’re struggling to pay your bill, don’t ignore it! LVVWD can work with you if you contact them before your scheduled shut-off date:
- Call 702-870-4194 during regular business hours
- Explain your situation and ask about available options
Lien Information
If LVVWD has placed a lien on your property, they’ll release it once you pay your balance in full. Note that they won’t accept credit/debit card payments for releasing liens – you’ll need to pay by personal check or cashier’s check.
Tyler Payments for Lower Valley Water District Customers
It’s worth mentioning that the Lower Valley Water District (LVWD) is now using Tyler Payments as their payment system. This is different from LVVWD and is relevant only if you’re an LVWD customer. If that’s you, you can no longer use Invoice Cloud for payments and should visit the LVWD website for information on how to use Tyler Payments.
Tips for Hassle-Free LVVWD Payments
Based on my own experience, here are some tips that might help you:
-
Set up autopay: This has been a lifesaver for me! No more forgetting due dates.
-
Go paperless: Get email notifications instead of paper bills – better for the environment and easier to keep track of.
-
Download the app: It’s super convenient for quick payments on the go.
-
Pay a few days early: Especially if using retail locations or mail, give yourself a buffer to avoid late fees.
-
Keep your contact info updated: Make sure LVVWD has your current phone number for phone payments and account verification.

Time-of-day watering restrictions are in effect
Through Aug. 31, mandatory watering restrictions prohibit landscape irrigation between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. Watering on Sundays is always prohibited.
As temperatures rise, it can be tempting to overwater—but its best to increase irrigation gradually. In early summer, when nights are still cool, begin by watering four days a week. Then, monitor your landscape closely and only increase watering as needed throughout June, July, and August.
It’s healthy. It’s hydrating. And above all, it’s high quality.
We monitor your water in “real time” 365 days a year, 24/7 around the clock. In 2024, we conducted nearly 301,000 analyses on more than 62,000 water samples from Lake Mead, our storage reservoirs, and 380 community-wide sampling stations—including stations in customers meter boxes. We go above and beyond Safe Drinking Water Act requirements to ensure water quality right up to your meter.
