Pay Your Lower Valley Water Bill: Quick Pay vs Sign In
Fastest: Quick Pay
- Use when you only need to pay.
- No login is necessary.
- Account Number is required.
- Customer Number may appear on the lookup screen.
- Save the confirmation number before closing.
Best for account control: Sign in

Open the official Tyler Payments portal
Use the official LVWD payment page or the Tyler Payments link from lvwd.org. Do not start from ads or unofficial bill-pay directories.
Match the account
Check account number, customer number, service address, name, and balance before submitting payment.
Watch the 7 PM posting rule
The portal announcement says payments made after 7:00 PM post to the account the next day. Call first if the account is past due or at service risk.
Save proof
Keep confirmation number, date/time, amount, payment method, email receipt, and screenshot.
Past-Due, Disconnect Risk or Payment Not Showing
| Situation | Do this first | Ask this exact question | Proof to keep |
|---|---|---|---|
| Payment after 7 PM | Call if a deadline is active. | “Will this payment post in time to protect the account?” | Portal confirmation and timestamp. |
| Past-due notice | Call 915-791-4480 before relying on mail/bank bill pay. | “What exact amount and method updates the account today?” | Notice, payment receipt, staff name. |
| Balance still showing after payment | Check confirmation and posting rule. | “Is the payment pending, posted, rejected, or applied to another account?” | Confirmation, last four digits, bank/card record. |
| Duplicate charge | Do not pay a third time. | “Are both charges posted or is one only an authorization?” | Both transaction IDs and amounts. |
| Autopay setup but bill still due | Confirm first draft date and whether current balance was included. | “Does autopay cover this bill or only future bills?” | Autopay setup confirmation. |
Do not use slow payment near disconnection risk. Bank bill pay, mail, and after-hours payments can be too slow if the district account needs same-day updating.

Bill Size, Rates Context and Wastewater Calculation Clues
Water customers
FY2024 financial report lists 21,391 metered water customers at year end.
Wastewater customers
FY2024 report lists 18,668 wastewater customers at year end.
Solid waste customers
FY2024 report lists 20,364 total solid waste customers at year end.
Average bill clue
FY2024 average residential bill shown: water 10 CCF $35.58 + wastewater 7 CCF $35.97 = $71.55.
| Bill topic | Official detail from LVWD financial materials | What it means for users |
|---|---|---|
| Water resale | In 2024, LVWD purchased 3.099 million CCFs of water from El Paso Water Utilities for resale. | LVWD customers may see local district charges influenced by wholesale water costs. |
| Water rate pressure | April 2024 wholesale water rate from El Paso Water Utilities increased by 0.5%. | Rate questions should be checked against current LVWD notices and bills. |
| Wastewater rate pressure | Wholesale wastewater rate increased by 1.8%. | Wastewater charges may move differently from water usage charges. |
| Wastewater usage method | LVWD financial report explains wastewater usage is calculated using average winter consumption: November, December, January, and February, excluding the lowest month. | Winter leaks or unusual usage can affect wastewater billing. Ask how your account was calculated. |
| New / returning residential customers | Customers requesting service on or after March 1 may be billed based on 100% of monthly water volumetric usage until the following February cycle. | New accounts should ask how wastewater usage is being set. |
High bill clue: if wastewater is the surprise, ask whether it is based on winter average, new/returning customer calculation, actual use, or a corrected billing cycle.
High Lower Valley Water Bill: Evidence First
Compare usage
Compare current CCF/usage with last month and the same season last year. Dollar amount alone can hide rate, wastewater, or solid-waste changes.
Silent toilet test
Put dye/food coloring in the tank. Wait without flushing. Color in the bowl usually means a flapper/leak problem.
Outdoor use
Check irrigation, hose bibs, livestock/pet waterers, pool fill, damp soil, and outside leaks common in desert-area properties.
| Check | What to look for | What to save |
|---|---|---|
| Meter / continuous use | Usage when all fixtures are off, overnight usage, spinning leak indicator if visible. | Meter photo, date/time, short notes. Do not tamper with district equipment. |
| Toilets | Running toilet, dye test failure, flapper leak, overflow tube issue. | Photo, part receipt, repair date. |
| Irrigation / hose | Broken emitter, irrigation controller, open hose, wet patch near line. | Repair invoice, photos, controller schedule. |
| Water softener | Regeneration loop, drain line issue, continuous discharge. | Service record, plumber note. |
| Wastewater charge | Winter averaging, new/returning customer method, abnormal winter consumption. | Winter bills and usage records. |
