Your Bill Pays for Vital Services

Every business, organization, and home in Philadelphia depends on around-the-clock access to safe water and wastewater removal.

Your water bill makes that possible by funding upgrades and repairs to vital infrastructure every day. We're not funded by taxes or state and federal revenue.

That means our customers make all of this happen, every day:
