Water/Sewer Rates

2020 Water & Sewer Rate Notification 

On Nov. 1, 2017, the City Council adopted new water and sewer service charges starting on Jan. 1, 2018, to pay for the operation and maintenance of the City's water and sewer systems. The water and sewer charges are scheduled to increase each year in January through December 31, 2022. Learn more about the 2020 Water and Sewer rate increases.

Water/Sewer Billing

South Pasadena water customers will soon be served by a new billing company, Munibilling, after the sudden closure of Fathom (formerly Global Water). The City Council approved the new contract Wednesday, Nov. 20.

There will be no change in the rates charged to customers and no interruption in water service.

South Pasadena operates its own water utility staffed by City employees, but contracts for billing services. We were only notified last week that Fathom was ceasing its business operations at the end of November. It was unfortunate that Fathom chose to wait until the 11th hour to inform us they were closing. However, we were able to quickly find a qualified new vendor. We anticipate a smooth transition as Munibilling steps in.

Water Bill FAQ

You do not have to cancel your autopay with Fathom. This information will be automatically cancelled as of November 30, 2019. If your payment was drafted it should transfer to the new system. Please keep proof of payment for your records.

Is my account number the same as Fathom?

No, you will be assigned a new account number with MuniBilling.

How do I access my online account?

You will use your new account number as well as an access code that will appear on your bill.

If you have not yet received your bill, but would like to get this information, contact Munibilling at (877) 583-7933.

What if I already paid my bill?
If you already paid your bill through Fathom your next bill should indicate you’ve paid. If your payment was already sent, via post mail to the Fathom PO Box, they will sent back to the return address. If for any reason the balance does not show paid on your next bill, please hang on to your proof of payment.

Note: As a result of this transition, no late penalties will be assessed for 30 days.
 
I haven’t received my bill. I don’t want my water to be shutoff. 
There will be no water shutoffs through the end of the calendar year as the City transitions to the new billing company.
