- The ability to view and print a copy of current or past bills.
- The capability to pay your utility bill (a convenience fee will be charged for this function).

A utility customer who creates a Customer Profile can view their utility account status any time on-line.
Additionally, a customer can pay their utility bill on-line. Paying the utility bill on-line incurs a convenience fee.
There is no cost for you to set up a Customer Profile.
No, you can pay your utility bill on-line without creating a Customer Profile by using the QuickPay option. Paying the utility bill on-line incurs a convenience fee.
Yes, customers paying utility bills online (whether thru their customer profile or using the QuickPay feature) are assessed a convenience fee.
The convenience fee is calculated on the total $$ amount being paid during the transaction. SGWASA does not determine the percentage-based fee and does not receive any portion of the fee.
The program is available on our website www.sgwasa.org Look for the icon on the homepage that indicates: “Customer Portal & Pay Online”.

SGWASA uses a third-party vendor to provide the online bill pay service to customers. The third-party vendor charges a convenience fee for each bill pay transaction. SGWASA does not determine the percentage-based convenience fee and does not receive any portion of the fee. For several years now, SGWASA has paid the convenience fees for all customers who use the optional online bill payment feature.
Following a review earlier this year of the costs associated to the on-line bill pay program, SGWASA recognized that customers who use the online bill payment program should pay the convenience fee for the service, versus all utility customers paying for it (via their utility rates) whether they use the online bill payment program or not. Therefore, utility customers who choose to use the online bill payment feature will be charged a convenience fee.
Customers have the following options to pay their utility bill:
- Pay electronically using their bank’s online bill pay procedures
