Pay Water or Sewer Bill
Please note that a portal fee of $1.00 plus 1.7% of the amount being paid will be added to your charge, and your payment may not be reflected in your account for up to three business days.
Call 803-576-2099 or 803-576-2051.
The Bank Draft program is a complimentary service that allows you to have your water/sewer bills paid each month directly from your checking or savings account without having to worry about writing and mailing a check.
Will my account be drafted this month?
You will need to pay your current invoice in full and sign up for the draft by the 25th for the draft to start the following month. You must have a zero balance for your draft to be approved.
After I apply, how quickly will bank draft start?
A customer should allow thirty (30) days for the electronic transactions to begin. When it begins, your water/sewer bill statement will state Do Not Pay – Auto Draft.
What day of the month will the draft debit my bank account?
Your account will be drafted the 15th of each month, or the following business day if the 15th falls on a weekend or a banking or County holiday.
What should I do if I move or change bank accounts?
You must notify the Finance Department at least fifteen (15) days prior to any changes made to your bank account. Early notification will prevent us from debiting a closed account in error. If you are moving, please notify us, so that we can make the appropriate changes to your Bank Draft.
For more information concerning the Bank Drafts, please contact us at 803-576-2094 or 803-576-2051.
