What is APS or Auto-Pay?
APS (also known as Auto-Pay) is a fast and reliable way to pay your utility bill. When you use APS, you authorize Hawaii Water to collect payment for your utility bill directly from your checking account. (Savings account deductions are only available through Bank of America.)
What are the benefits of Hawaii Water’s APS Payment?
You save time because there are no checks to write. You save money by avoiding the cost of mailing. You can be assured your utility bill will be paid in full and on time even if you are away from home. With APS, you still receive a paper bill that shows the withdrawal date and amount.
Can I set up Auto-Pay to be deducted from a credit card?
APS payments can only be deducted from your bank checking or Bank of America savings account. Pending Hawaii Public Utilities Commission approval, customers will soon have the option to pay via credit card by calling a toll-free automated payment phone number.
How much will APS cost me?
Automatic payment is a service provided by Hawaii Water at no charge to our customers.
How will I know the amount of the payment and when will I be debited?
When you receive your utility bill in the mail, you will see a message on your bill stating that you’re on automatic payment, the dollar amount, and when the payment will be applied. Example: Automatic payment of $79.95 will be applied on 4/5/2012. Debiting of your checking or savings account will be 10 calendar days from the billing date for the full amount of your utility bill.
What if I think my bill is incorrect?
For questions concerning the accuracy of your utility bills, contact the Hawaii Water Customer Center as soon as you receive your utility bill. Every effort will be made to make any necessary corrections before the due date.
