What the system does

Online Water Bill runs the monthly cycle your office already knows: enter or import meter reads, generate bills, mail or email them, collect payments, and give customers a portal for balance and usage. Mailed bills, cash, and checks stay supported when your association still needs them.

Meter reading

Read meters in a mobile web app with routes and GPS, preload maps for offline routes, or import from supported AMR handhelds. Readings post to the right accounts and feed billing without rekeying.

Billing and invoicing

Turn meter reads into bills with your rates and fees. Generate the billing run from one place instead of juggling spreadsheets and separate tools.

Mailed and emailed bills

Print and mail professional tri-fold bills with return envelopes, or send by email. Automated mailing is optional; many associations keep paper bills while online pay grows.

Online and offline payments

Customers pay by card or ACH in the portal. Staff record check, cash, and money order payments in the same invoice workflow so every payment lands on the right account.

Customer portal

Residents view current balance, usage history, and past payments from a phone or computer. They can pay on their own schedule without calling, mailing, or visiting the office.

Reminders, reports, and office tools

Send due-date reminders, track delinquencies, run usage and payment reports, and manage work orders for field staff. Customer accounts and history stay in one system.

Switching Is Easier Than You Think

The hardest part is usually deciding to change, not the change itself. We handle the heavy lifting so your staff is not stuck re-keying data or running two systems through a billing cycle.

We import your customers

Current customer and account data comes over with guided help. You spot-check names, addresses, and balances before go-live.

We import your meters

Meter numbers, routes, and latest readings land in the right accounts so your next billing cycle starts clean.

We configure your rates

Your tiers, fees, and billing cycles are set up in the system. Initial configuration typically takes about 1–2 hours.

We train your staff

Hands-on onboarding covers billing, payments, meter reading, and mailing. Support stays with you after go-live.

Typical timeline

Most associations are ready to accept online payments within a few days, timed to your billing calendar. Go-live is planned around your next read-and-mail cycle so you do not double-bill or miss a month.

How This Helps Your Association

Happy Customers

Give your customers the convenience they expect. They can pay anytime from their phone or computer, with clear access to their balance and usage.

Save Time & Money

Stop printing bills, stuffing envelopes, and making phone calls about late payments. Let the system handle the work for you.

Get Paid Faster

Money hits your account automatically when customers pay online. Less waiting for checks in the mail and trips to the bank.

Reduce Paper

More customers online means less routine printing and postage. Mailed bills and paper options stay available when your association still needs them.

Smart Meter Reading

No More Paper Forms

Traditional meter reading is full of problems: lost paper forms, manual data entry errors, and delays. Read meters in our mobile web app, or import readings straight from your AMR (Automatic Meter Reading) system. Either way, readings flow into billing without paperwork.

What customers and staff are saying

“Thank you so much for what you do. I was so tired of having to remember and write a check every month for my water bill. I now have it set up on autopay and no longer worry about missing a payment.”

Tony S. Customer, Deer Community Water Association

“I really like that online payments are deposited once a week instead of daily. That makes reconciling bank statements way easier than in another system I’ve used before, where deposits came in daily and were split between cards and bank accounts.”

Marla C. Bookkeeper, Deer Community Water Association
