If you live in a municipal utility district (MUD) in Harris County, paying your water and sewer bill should be quick and hassle-free. MUDs in the county offer multiple payment options including online, by phone, in-person, and by mail. Understanding the available methods can help you easily pay on time each month
Online Bill Pay
For the fastest way to pay, Harris County MUDs let you pay online 24/7. Most districts utilize the online payment portal from Municipal District Services (MDS) at mdswatercom
To use the MDS portal, first register your account with your account number. Once registered, you can log in anytime to view your current bill, see payment history, and pay online.
You can pay by credit card, debit card, or electronic check. The site charges small convenience fees of $3.50 for card payments under $500 and $5.95 for payments over $500. eCheck payments have a $3.50 fee.
The portal also allows you to setup recurring automatic payments so your bill is paid every month without any work on your part.
Pay by Phone
In addition to online payments, you can pay your Harris County MUD bill over the phone by calling the number listed on your bill. This could be the MDS phone payment line at (855) 270-3592 or your individual MUD’s phone number.
When paying by phone, have your account number ready. You can pay with a card or eCheck, but note the same convenience fees apply as with online payments. The automated phone system is available 24 hours a day.
In-Person Options
If you prefer to pay your bill in person, MDS has two office locations in the Houston area that accept payments for Harris County MUDs:
- 406 W Grand Pkwy S #260, Katy, TX 77494
- 16758 Telge Rd, Cypress, TX 77429
Both locations accept check money order, or cashier’s check payments Monday-Friday from 8 30am-4 30pm. No cash is accepted. Bring your current bill or know your account number.
Some MUDs also allow in-person payments at the MUD office. Check your individual district’s website for details.
Pay by Mail
Most MUDs allow paying your water bill by mailing a check or money order. Mail payments to the payment address printed on your bill, generally:
[Your MUD Name]
P.O. Box 3150
Houston, TX 77253
Be sure to include your payment stub or write your account number on the check to ensure proper credit. Allow 5-7 days for mailed payments to process.
Pay at Retail Locations
Some grocery stores and retailers in Harris County accept MUD bill payments. At H-E-B and Kroger, you can pay with the payment coupon from your bill for a $1.50 fee. Walmart also takes payments with a coupon for a $1.50 overnight delivery fee.
Avoid Late Fees
MUD bills are typically due around the 20th of each month. Payments received after the due date incur a late fee, usually $10. If left unpaid, additional penalties build up and service may be disconnected.
Using the convenient online, phone, or in-person options ensures your payment arrives on time and avoids any extra charges. Consider automatic payments to never miss a bill.
With the variety of payment methods offered, Harris County MUD customers can easily pay bills on time each month. Choose the option that fits your needs and manage your water and sewer account stress-free.
