Utility Billing FAQs
💳What are the fees to pay with a credit or debit card?

The City of Lewiston does not charge any fees for any of our payment options — including credit card, debit card, or electronic check payments. 

How do I set up Auto Pay?

You can set up Auto Pay directly through your Customer Access Portal account or contact Utility Billing at ub@cityoflewiston.org for assistance.

When is my utility bill due?

Payments are due on the 15th day following your billing date. The due date is listed on your statement.

Why is my bill higher this month?

Common reasons include:

Seasonal water usage changes (lawn irrigation in summer months).
Leaky toilets or faucets.
Additional occupants or guests using more water.
Overdue balances from a prior bill cycle.
If your bill seems unusually high, contact Utility Billing and we’ll review it with you.

When are late fees applied?

Late fees are assessed on the 21st of each month for any unpaid balance of $30.00 or more.

💧 What are some easy ways to save water?
  • Water lawns early morning or late evening to reduce evaporation.
  • Check sprinkler system times to verify days and times for watering are not excessive. If raining turn off sprinkler system.
  • Fix drippy faucets (a slow drip can waste over 20 gallons a day).
  • Use a broom, not a hose, to clean driveways or sidewalks.
  • Run dishwashers and washing machines with full loads only.
  • Take shorter showers, and turn off the faucet while brushing teeth or shaving.
  • When washing dishes by hand, don't let the water run while rinsing. 
  • Install low-flow fixtures where possible. 
  • Small changes in daily water habits can make a noticeable difference in your monthly cost.
