Tips for Online Bill Payment
I’ve been paying my water bills online for years now, and I’ve picked up some useful tips:
1. Set Calendar Reminders
Don’t rely on memory! I’ve setup monthly reminders in my phone calendar. This helps me avoid those pesky late fees that add up quickly.
2. Keep Your K-Number Handy
The KNO (K-Number) is your unique identifier for DJB bills. I keep mine saved in my phone notes for quick access. You’ll need it for EVERY transaction.
3. Check Your Bill Amount
I once paid without checking and later realized there was an error in the bill amount. Always verify the amount before confirming payment!
4. Save Payment Receipts
Screenshots, digital receipts, confirmation numbers – save them all! These are your proof of payment if anything goes wrong.
5. Try Automatic Payments
If you’re like me and sometimes forget to pay on time, automatic payments could be a lifesaver. Both DJB and DDA offer options to set up recurring payments.
Common Problems & Solutions
Let’s face it – sometimes things don’t go as planned. Here are some common issues I’ve encountered and how to solve them:
Portal Not Loading
This happens sometimes during peak hours or maintenance periods. Try:
- Clearing your browser cache
- Using a different browser
- Trying again in a few hours
Payment Failed But Money Deducted
Don’t panic! This happens sometimes due to connectivity issues. Check your bank statement and if money was deducted:
- Take a screenshot of the failed transaction
- Note down any reference numbers
- Contact customer service with these details
Forgot Login Details
For DDA portal users who’ve registered:
- Use the “Forgot Password” option
- You’ll need your registered email or phone number
- Follow the instructions to reset
Town of Delhi (LA) Payment Options
It’s important to note that there’s also a Town of Delhi in Louisiana, USA, which has its own water billing system. If you’re from Delhi, LA (not Delhi, India), you can pay your bill through:

Their payment address is:
