Paying your water bill to Beaufort Jasper Water and Sewer Authority (BJWSA) is easy when you know all the options available. As a local resident, I’ve paid my BJWSA water bill for years and want to share the most convenient ways to pay. Whether you prefer online, by mail, in person, or automatic payments, BJWSA offers great payment choices. Read on to learn the details so you can pay your Beaufort Jasper water bill with no hassle.
Online Payment
The easiest way to pay your BJWSA water bill is online Just visit the BJWSA website and click on “Pay Your Bill,” This will take you to the online payment portal
The first time you pay online, you’ll need to register your account Click “Register” and enter your account number, name, and email address. Create a username and password. That’s it – your account is set up for future online payments
Once registered, simply log in each month with your username and password. The system will pull up your account balance. You can pay by credit card or eCheck. Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express cards are accepted.
I like paying online because it takes just a couple minutes each month I login, submit the payment, and receive a confirmation email It’s fast, secure, and I have proof of payment.
BJWSA also offers recurring payments as an online option. You can set up automatic monthly payments from your credit card or bank account. Your bill amount will be paid each month on the due date without any action needed from you. To enroll in recurring payments, login to the online portal and navigate to the AutoPay section.
Pay by Mail
If you prefer to pay your BJWSA water bill by mail, that is certainly an option. Simply use the payment stub and return envelope included with your paper bill each month. Make sure to include your name, property address, and account number on the check or money order. The mailing address is:
Beaufort-Jasper Water and Sewer Authority
6 Snake Road
Okatie, SC 29909-3937
The benefit of paying by mail is that you don’t need to leave home or go online. Just drop your payment in the mailbox. However, it does take 5-7 days to arrive at BJWSA, so make sure to mail it several days before the due date. I recommend mailing by at least the 20th of the month to avoid late fees.
Pay In Person
For a more personal, face-to-face payment experience, you can pay your BJWSA water bill in person at their Okatie office. The address is 6 Snake Road, at the intersection of Highway 170 and Snake Road.
The office is open Monday through Friday from 8:30am to 5:00pm. Multiple payment options are accepted:
- Cash
- Check
- Money order
- Credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover)
There is a convenient drive-through window if you’d like to quickly pay without getting out of your car. Or you can go inside the lobby and pay at the front desk.
If the lobby is closed or you come after hours, a secure drop box is located next to the front doors. It is available 24/7 so you can drop off payments anytime. Just include your payment and billing stub.
Paying in person ensures same day payment processing if paying during business hours. It also gives you the chance to talk to a BJWSA representative face-to-face if you have any questions about your bill.
Bank Draft Payment
If you want to completely set it and forget it when paying your Beaufort Jasper water bill, bank draft may be the best option. This automatically pays your bill from your checking account each month.
To enroll in bank draft, download the BJWSA bank draft form from their website. Fill it out with your account details and banking information. Mail, fax, or drop off the form to BJWSA Customer Service.
You can also set up bank draft payments online through the payment portal, over the phone, or in person without using the form.
With bank draft, the payment amount is deducted from your bank account each month on the due date. You’ll still receive a paper or eBill showing your monthly charges. The bill just says “Bank Draft – Do Not Pay” so you know payment will happen automatically.
Bank draft is secure, convenient, and ensures your bill is paid on time every month. I highly recommend it if you want a hassle-free process.
Payment by Phone
In addition to online, mail, in person, and bank draft, BJWSA offers phone payments as another option. You can call their automated pay-by-phone number at 888-375-8126. Just have your account number, debit/credit card details, or checking account information ready when you call.
The automated system is available 24/7 so you can pay your Beaufort Jasper water bill over the phone day or night. Talking to the automated attendant is quick and easy to use.
Avoid Late Fees
Now that you know the various ways to pay your BJWSA water bill, make sure you pay it on time each month. Bills are due by the date listed on your statement to avoid late fees.
If paying by mail, remember it takes 5-7 days to arrive. Pay online up until midnight on the due date for instant processing. Setup automatic payments to ensure your bill gets paid on time, every time.
Following the payment options above will help you avoid pesky late fees on your Beaufort Jasper water bill. Paying on time keeps your account in good standing. Plus, it’s one less thing to worry about each month!
