Autopay+

Automatic payment or “Autopay” is a feature that allows you to have your balance or payment automatically deducted from your bank account or credit card on the bill due date or a specific payment date each month.

NYC Water Board has approved a new Autopay Incentive Program where eligible customers can earn a one-time $50 non-refundable credit towards their next water and wastewater bill.

Additional info can be quickly found in these FAQs or by calling us during our business hours Monday, 8am - 7pm; Tuesday to Friday, 8am - 6pm; Saturday, 9am - 12pm at (718) 595-7000.

There is no formal application needed to apply for this program. In order to qualify for the $50 credit, you simply need to:

• Sign up for My DEP account,
• sign up for Autopay (after 6/16/2023),
• enroll in Monthly billing,
• enroll in E-billing and
• stay current (not delinquent) on your bill and enrolled in the above services for six months after the credit is applied to your account.

You are eligible if you signed up for autopay after 6/16/2023, and you are already enrolled in monthly billing, e-billing and are not delinquent on your bills. Customers with current Payment Agreements, WDAP, and bankruptcy are eligible as long as the account is not delinquent.

If you enrolled for autopay prior to 6/16/2023, you are not eligible for this program. If your account is billed annually, you are not eligible for this program as monthly billing is required for this program. Only the property owners can trigger the autopay credit, delegate profiles are not able to sign up for e-billing and cannot trigger credit.

The account will be credited automatically once the criteria are met. Customers will receive a $50 credit on their next bill after their first autopayment brings their account balance down to $0.00.

Yes, if any of the qualifying conditions are not met for 6 months, your $50 will be revoked. You must stay on autopay, monthly billing, e-billing, and your account must stay in good standing for at least 6 months after the credit is applied to your account.

No, this is a non-refundable credit and will be applied to your future bills.

If a customer has multiple accounts, all accounts can be eligible for the non-refundable $50.00 one-time credit, if all the program requirements are met. If you have delegated access to the account, you will not be able to trigger the credit.

You can call DEP during business hours Monday, 8am–7pm; Tuesday to Friday, 8am–6pm; Saturday, 9am–12pm at (718) 595-7000. Please note that only property owners can enroll in autopay, monthly billing, and e-billing. DEP staff cannot enroll customers’ accounts into these services.
