BWL's Customer Self-Service (CSS) Portal is the quickest and easiest way to pay your utility bill. When you register for the CSS Portal, you'll be able to:

  • Pay your bill online using AutoPay, Venmo, Amazon Pay, PayPal and PayPal Credit
  • View your current balance, billing statements and statement history
  • See your due date

Once the BWL has your information, you will have to wait until the following day to access the CSS Portal.
