Newport Water Division Provides Billing Updates

New Payment Option, Minimum Sewer Use Fee
  
NEWPORT, R.I. (TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2024) – After a roughly two-month pause, a new online payment portal for Newport Water Division customers will be available at the start of the next billing cycle in September.

The new portal, a link for which will be placed at www.CityofNewport.com/Water when ready, replaces the City’s legacy payment system that was taken offline in July as part of a needed software upgrade.

Understanding the confusion and inconvenience caused by the delay, the Water Division has waived interest and late fees for all affected accounts. Meanwhile, customers who may have already paid interest charges on their July or August bills will be credited that same amount in their subsequent billing cycle.
