Irving Utility Bill Help Center for Online Pay, 10% Penalty, New Service and High Bills
This Irving water bill guide is built for real customer tasks: pay online, use Quick Pay, create a MyIrvingBill account, avoid the 5 p.m. penalty cutoff, request a payment plan, start service, transfer service, close an account, or apply for a concealed leak adjustment.
Every step below includes the official City of Irving link, form, phone number, or address beside the action, so the page works like a utility task board instead of a long generic article.
Fast answer: Irving water utility customers can pay online at MyIrvingBill, use Quick Pay, create an account for recurring payments and paperless billing, pay by phone at 972-721-3774, pay in person at City Hall, use the drop box, mail payment, or use authorized locations for accounts that are not past due.
Most important deadline: payment must be received by the City of Irving Customer Service Department by 5 p.m. on the bill due date. If not, a 10% penalty is assessed to outstanding current charges. Online and bank payments can take time to credit, so do not wait until the last minute.
