How to pay your bill

Direct Debit is the easiest way to pay your bill.

Spread the payments across the year and choose the date you want to make your payment.

It's easy to set up and manage your Direct Debit with an online account.

Set up a Direct Debit.

An online account is the best way to do everything for your customer account.

That includes making card payments quickly and securely.

You don't need an online account to make payments online. If you'd rather use the website only, you can make your payment here. 

Our Essex & Suffolk Water app is a quick and secure way to make payments and check your bills.

Download for free from the App Store (opens new window) and Google Play (opens new window).

Paying by PayPoint?

If you'd like to request a replacement PayPoint card, simply create an online account, or log in, to request a new one.

Alternatively, download our mobile app to get a digital PayPoint card on your smartphone. 

Our automated payment line is available 24/7, and it's free to use.

Call 0800 032 3415 to make payments and check your account balance.
