Guide to Paying Your Lafourche Parish Water Bill Online

As a Lafourche Parish Water District #1 customer, I appreciate how they make paying my water bill quick and convenient With options to pay online, by phone, automatic bank draft and more, flexibility is key In this guide, I’ll outline the modern payment methods LPWD offers and share tips to avoid late fees.

Online Account Access

The first step is to register for online account access through LPWD’s payment portal, Just go to newolbplogicshostedcom/LPWDLA/login and click “Register,” You’ll need your account number from your latest bill,

Once registered, you can log in anytime to:

• View your balance
• See payment history
• Pay your bill
• Setup autopay
• Go paperless with eBills

Having an online account makes managing your water bill a breeze. I like getting email reminders before my bill is due and confirmation when payments go through.

Pay Online

The easiest way to pay is directly through your online account. You can securely save a bank account, debit card or credit card to make one-time or recurring payments.

LPWD also offers guest checkout on their website for quick one-time payments without registering for an account. Just go to lpwdla.org and click “Pay Your Bill Now.”

Paying online posts to your account faster than mailing a check. You have certainty that the payment went through and get instant email confirmation.

Pay By Phone

To pay by phone, LPWD uses a toll-free automated payment system. Call 866-954-5601 and follow the prompts to make a payment using your debit or credit card.

I keep the phone number stored in my contacts to easily call in payments when I’m on the go. It’s fast, taking only a few minutes to complete the automated process.

Automatic Bank Draft

For hands-free bill pay, sign up for automatic bank draft through LPWD. They’ll automatically deduct your balance from your checking or savings account each month.

Download the ACH authorization form from their website and drop it off with a voided check. Bank draft gives peace of mind knowing your bill is always paid on time.

Pay by Mail

If you prefer to mail in a check, be sure to send it at least 5-7 business days before your due date. Late fees apply even if the check arrives past the due date.

Always include your payment stub from your water bill to ensure proper crediting to your account. I recommend mailing checks early to avoid issues with postal delays.

Pay at the Office

You can drop off payments in person at the LPWD office at 1219 Crescent Ave in Lockport, LA. They accept cash, check, credit/debit cards and money orders.

Be aware that Mondays and Fridays tend to be the busiest days with longer wait times. Personally, I avoid trips to the office by using convenient online payments instead.

Pay Through Your Bank

Many banks offer online bill pay to automatically mail checks to companies each month. You give them details like LPWD’s address and your new account number.

While this works, LPWD’s online payment options give more control and faster processing. I prefer setting up direct payments through LPWD rather than relying on my bank’s system.

Avoid Late Payment Penalties

Like any utility, LPWD charges fees for late payments, usually 10% of your monthly bill. Set payment reminders through their online system or your calendar to stay on track.

Automating payments through bank draft or autopay guarantees your bill is paid on time, avoiding costly late fees. Paying online instantly beats sending a check that could get delayed or lost in the mail.

Overall, LPWD makes paying your water bill stress-free. Pick the option that suits your needs – online, phone, automatic bank draft and more. Paying on time avoids penalties so you keep more money in your pocket.
