I Can’t Make a Payment
There is a complete section of the website on delinquent bill procedures, but there is nothing about payment assistance or payment plans. We did find a payment plan fee that the company charges when a past due account is placed on a payment plan. It is best to contact the customer service department at 1-909-595-9019 for more information on the payment plan offered by Walnut Valley Water District.
