Customer Portal (FWCustomer.org)
Our new online Customer Portal allows you a new way to view and pay your bills.
With registration, you can manage your account by turning off paper bills and/or setting up a recurring debit payment. You can also see your usage and billing history, as well as request notifications. Payments can be made for free using a bank account or pay a small, cost-based fee when paying with a debit or credit card, which are processed by Speedpay. The portal will also allow you to make a one-time payment without registration.
The portal can be accessed in the green/grey menu at the top of this website, or by clicking below:
If you pay with your credit or debit card, you will pay a $4.25 convenience fee. But, an ACH payment (from your bank account), either one-time or recurring, is free of charge.
Customer Notice: Third-party payment sites are bill pay websites that may appear to be affiliated with Fairfax Water, but they are not. These third-party sites allow people to pay water bills or other bills through their site, but they are not associated with or endorsed by Fairfax Water.

Automatic Debit Payment
Recurring Payment is the easiest and most economical way to pay your bill. You must register at our Customer Portal to enroll. Recurring debit will begin upon sign up, in the amount of your current balance.
The amount of your bill is automatically deducted from your checking or savings account on your bill's due date. You still receive a bill so you can maintain records, but you'll never have to worry about paying your bill on time again. We also encourage you to opt for paperless billing.
You are responsible for ensuring sufficient funds in your account on the debit date. If funds are unavailable at the time of the debit, a return payment fee will be applied. If the bank returns a transfer without payment, Fairfax Water has the right to assess a fee equal to the fee charged for return checks. The participant is then immediately responsible to remit full payment and the return payment fee. Upon the second returned payment within a year, your participation will be discontinued.
You may discontinue your participation at any time. But, we require you to submit your change or cancel request a minimum of four business days before the scheduled debit date.
Based upon the services billed and under the terms of this agreement, it is understood that the amount debited may vary. Amounts will fluctuate from billing period to billing period. This authorization allows Fairfax Water to adjust the amount drafted from your bank account to accommodate changes in usage and charges.
Each bill received from Fairfax Water will serve as notice of the amount of each payment deduction.
