Melbourne Utilities: Bill Pay, Login & Phone 2026

Melbourne Utilities: Bill Pay, Login & Phone 2026

City of Melbourne, Florida • utility billing customer guide

If you need to pay a City of Melbourne utilities bill, use Quick Pay, sign into the new billing portal, start water service, deal with a past-due account or speak with Utility Billing, start with the task-specific information below.

This guide is for Melbourne, Florida. The City’s utility billing operation primarily covers water, sewer and related municipal utility charges. Electric service is handled separately, so a power outage should not be reported to the water-billing office.

Independent guide: city-utilities.org is not the City of Melbourne and cannot access your account, accept a payment, restore water service, approve a sewer credit or change billing information. Use only City-linked or authorized payment pages for account-sensitive actions.

Melbourne Utility Billing Quick Answers

Billing customer service 321-608-7100
24-hour phone payment 888-607-6745
Water / sewer field issue 321-608-5130
After-hours emergency 321-255-4622
No login needed Quick Pay needs the account number

The City’s current Municipal Online Services portal includes Quick Pay for customers who only need to pay a bill and do not want to sign in.

Full portal account Registration needs more bill details

To add a utility account to an online profile, keep the account number, customer number and last bill number from your statement available.

Past-due account 25 days matters

The City says accounts become past due if not paid within 25 days of the billing date and may then face late fees and service disconnection.

Old portal bookmark? Melbourne moved utility billing to Municipal Online Services in 2025. The City’s old payment portal stopped functioning after May 31, 2025, so update old bookmarks rather than assuming an outdated payment page still works.

How to Pay a City of Melbourne Utility Bill

Melbourne offers Quick Pay, registered portal payment, AutoPay, phone payment, mail and in-person payment. Use Quick Pay when you only need to submit a bill payment; use a registered account when you want billing history, water-usage information or recurring-payment tools.

Quick Pay Municipal Online Services

No login required. The current portal says you need your utility account number.

Registered portal Sign in / register

Use for account details, multiple accounts, billing statements, usage reports, eBilling and payment management.

Pay by phone 888-607-6745

The City’s automated payment system is available 24 hours a day. Convenience fees may apply.

Mail P.O. Box 17, Melbourne, FL 32902-0012

Use the current bill and allow enough delivery time before the account becomes delinquent.

In person Melbourne City Hall

Utility Billing is on the first floor at 900 E. Strawbridge Ave., Melbourne, FL 32901.

Official Melbourne Utility Billing Portal
After opening the official billing portal
  1. Choose Quick Pay if you only need to pay and do not want to sign in.
  2. Enter the utility account number shown on the bill.
  3. If you want account-management features instead, choose Sign In / Register.
  4. Review the convenience fee shown by the payment processor before completing a card or eCheck transaction.
  5. Submit the payment once and keep the confirmation until the balance updates correctly.
The City does not publish one fixed convenience-fee amount on its main Utility Billing page. It states that the payment processor charges fees for credit-card and eCheck payments. Review the actual fee displayed in the live portal before you authorize payment rather than relying on an older article or screenshot.

Quick Pay vs. Full Login

Quick Pay Best for a one-time payment

The current portal says only an account number is needed to begin. There is no need to create an online profile just to use Quick Pay.

Registered profile Best for account management

Use a profile when you want eBilling, multiple accounts, billing history, water-usage reports or recurring-payment tools.

Online Payment in Five Steps

Open the current City-linked portal. Use Municipal Online Services rather than an old FirstChoice or legacy payment bookmark.
Choose Quick Pay or account login. Quick Pay is faster for a single payment; login is better when you need account history or AutoPay.
Verify the account. Match the account and service details to the bill you intend to pay.
Review the processor fee. The City confirms that convenience fees apply, but the amount should be checked during the live transaction.
Keep proof. Save the payment confirmation, especially if the account is close to a disconnect date.

If you also manage another Florida municipal water account, the site’s Palm Coast Utilities payment and login guide explains that city’s separate Paymentus workflow and fees.

Melbourne Utilities Login and Portal Registration

The current Melbourne portal supports both Quick Pay and registered accounts. Registration is more useful when you want to view bills, manage more than one account, check online payment history or enroll in eBilling.

Account number First set of digits

On the printed statement, look in the Account Number-Customer Number box. The first group is the account number.

Customer number Last six digits

The City says the last six digits in the same Account Number-Customer Number box are the customer number.

Account setup Keep the latest bill nearby

Melbourne’s registration instructions say the portal may ask for the account number, customer number and last bill number.

Open Melbourne Utility Login / Registration
After opening the portal
  1. Choose Sign In / Register rather than Quick Pay.
  2. If you already registered in Municipal Online Services, use your existing credentials.
  3. If you are new, use the sign-up option and validate your email address.
  4. Add the utility account using the information from your latest bill.
  5. Once the account is linked, use the dashboard for bills, payments, water usage, eBilling and other account tools.
2026 identity-service update: the current Municipal Online Services portal says existing users can continue signing in with their existing username and password after its identity-service migration. This is separate from Melbourne’s earlier 2025 switch away from the old utility portal.

AutoPay Users From the Old Portal

Melbourne’s 2025 portal transition did not carry old AutoPay information into the new system. If you never re-enrolled after that transition, call 321-608-7100 or contact the City’s Utility Billing team rather than assuming an old automatic draft is still active.

If you prefer a utility system with a separate Quick Payment route, the Tallahassee Utilities bill pay and Quick Payment guide shows how another Florida municipal utility separates fast payment from full account management.

Start a New Melbourne Water Utility Account

Melbourne provides an online Application for Water Service. The City says online applications receive a response within two working days. Paper applications are also available in the City Hall lobby during application hours.

  • Customer’s full legal name
  • Exact service address
  • Driver’s license or other identification
  • Lease documentation for renters
  • Proof of purchase for property owners
  • Contact details for City follow-up
Processing About two working days

The City says online water-service applications normally receive a response within two working days.

Initiation fee $20

Melbourne states that a $20 service initiation fee appears on the first utility bill.

Deposit Varies by service

The new-account page says deposit requirements vary. The current residential rate table lists $60 for water and $90 for sewer.

Customers without outstanding balances may have the applicable deposit billed on the first bill rather than collected before activation, according to the City’s current new-account instructions.
Official Melbourne New Utility Account Instructions
After opening the new-account page
  1. Open the Application for Water Service linked by the City.
  2. Enter the account holder’s name and service address.
  3. Attach identification plus the required lease or ownership documentation.
  4. Submit the application and watch for a response within two working days.
  5. If you need in-person help, go to City Hall before the 4:30 p.m. new-application cutoff.
Moving to an address near Melbourne does not automatically mean Melbourne is the water/sewer provider. The City’s published rate table includes customers inside Melbourne and several outside service areas. Call 321-608-5106 if you need the engineering technician to verify service availability for a property.

For another Florida municipal water-and-wastewater account workflow, see the site’s Tampa Utilities customer portal and start-service guide.

Past-Due Melbourne Utility Bill and Reconnection

Melbourne’s current delinquent-account page is unusually direct: an account is considered past due if it is not paid within 25 days of the billing date. Past-due accounts are subject to late fees and service disconnection.

Past due 25 days after billing date

If payment has not been made within that period, the account is considered delinquent under the City’s current published rule.

Restoration Past-due balance + $30

The City says service resumes only after the past-due balance and a $30 reconnection charge have been paid.

Official Melbourne Delinquent Account Rule
After opening the delinquent-account page
  1. Compare the billing date on your statement with the City’s 25-day delinquency rule.
  2. If the account is already delinquent, confirm the current total balance before paying.
  3. If service has been disconnected, include the City’s current $30 reconnection charge in your planning.
  4. Call 321-608-7100 when timing is critical instead of assuming an online payment alone has completed restoration.

Current Melbourne Residential Water and Sewer Rates

Melbourne’s official rate table separates customers inside the City from customers in outside service areas. That difference matters when comparing bills between nearby addresses.

Water — inside Melbourne Monthly base: $10.88 Usage: $6.22 per 1,000 gallons Published residential deposit: $60
Water — outside Melbourne Monthly base: $11.97 Usage: $6.84 per 1,000 gallons Published residential deposit: $60
Sewer — inside Melbourne Monthly base: $15.59 Usage: $9.02 per 1,000 gallons Published residential deposit: $90
Sewer — outside Melbourne Monthly base: $19.49 Usage: $11.28 per 1,000 gallons Published residential deposit: $90

Other Sewer Service Areas Listed by Melbourne

Brevard County Base $32.79

Current table lists $6.93 per 1,000 gallons and a $90 residential deposit.

Cocoa Beach Base $51.22

Current table lists $14.33 per 1,000 gallons and a $90 residential deposit.

Palm Bay Base $31.60

Current table lists $9.18 per 1,000 gallons and a $90 residential deposit.

West Melbourne Base $15.90

Current table lists $6.25 per 1,000 gallons.

These are the amounts currently shown on Melbourne’s official residential rate table. Your total bill can include other charges, prior balances, adjustments or service-specific items, so do not estimate a final bill from the usage rate alone.
Official Melbourne Utility Rate Table
After opening the rate table
  1. Identify whether the service address is inside Melbourne or in an outside service area.
  2. Separate the monthly base rate from the per-1,000-gallon consumption rate.
  3. Use the sewer row that matches the actual service territory on your account.
  4. Compare those rates with the gallons and service lines shown on your own bill.

Melbourne Sewer Credit for a Leak or Pool Fill

Melbourne allows a sewer-charge adjustment in some cases when unusually high water use did not enter the sanitary sewer system. This is not a general high-bill forgiveness program.

Usage threshold More than double the prior average

To qualify, consumption must exceed the previous six-month average by 100% of that average.

Application deadline Within 60 days

The account holder must submit the written credit request within 60 days of the bill being disputed.

Frequency limit Once per 12 months

Melbourne limits qualifying sewer adjustments to one in a 12-month period.

Documentation Melbourne Requires

  • Completed Request for Sewer Credit application
  • Copy of repair bill when applicable
  • Pool contract when applicable
  • Statement explaining when and how the repair was made
Not every leak qualifies. Melbourne excludes water that entered the sewer system through a leaky toilet or indoor faucet, irrigation use, negligent use and unexplained water use. When excessive use spans two billing cycles, the City’s rule also requires corrective action within 10 days of the first bill showing excessive consumption.
Official Melbourne Sewer Credit Rules
After opening the sewer-credit page
  1. Check whether the excess water stayed out of the sanitary sewer.
  2. Compare the high consumption with your previous six-month average.
  3. Gather the repair bill, pool contract or written repair explanation.
  4. Open and complete the City’s Request for Sewer Credit form.
  5. Submit within 60 days of the bill date and contact Utility Billing about payment arrangements while the application is under review.

Water Leak, Dirty Water or Sewer Break: Who to Call

Utility Billing handles the account. Utilities Operations handles field problems. Calling the correct division matters when water is running in the street or the issue is a water-quality or sewer-service problem rather than a bill.

Weekday operations 321-608-5130

Use for dirty water, a street water leak, water/sewer break or repair issue Monday-Friday from 7:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m.

After hours / holidays 321-255-4622

Use for urgent water or sewer problems outside the regular Utilities Operations schedule.

Billing issue 321-608-7100

Use for the bill, account, new service, delinquency, payment or sewer-credit question rather than a field repair.

Official Melbourne Public Works & Utilities FAQ
After opening the Public Works & Utilities FAQ
  1. Find the question that matches the field problem: dirty water, water leak, water/sewer break or service availability.
  2. Use 321-608-5130 during the weekday Utilities Operations schedule.
  3. Use 321-255-4622 after hours and on holidays when the issue is urgent.
