From My Water to your online account
Can I log in the same way?
Yes, your login and password remain the same.
What happens when I log in?
Things may look a little different when you first log in, but you'll have access to all your properties and accounts previously in My Water. The first thing you'll see is the 'Overview', which shows properties with alerts, such as overdue bills, upcoming and current outages, high water use and estimated meter reads.
Why can’t I see all my properties?
Please navigate to the 'Manage' tab to view all the properties in your online account. If properties are missing, select 'show properties' to add properties.
Will my bill settings and preferences remain the same?
Yes, they are the same. However, you can now update how you receive your bills in 'Manage billing'.
What happens to all my bill information?
All your bill and payment history is still available, and your billing preferences won't change. Go to the ‘Bill and payments’ tab to view and download all your current bills and your bill and payment history.
What happens to all my grouped properties?
Your groups remain the same, so you'll see your previous My Water groups. However, because your groups are now user-based, any changes you make will only apply to you. This enables you to group your properties as needed, making account management easier - learn more about managing your groups.
