New Mexico Water Service Partners with Walmart to Expand Payment Options for Cash- and Debit Card-Paying Customers

RIO COMMUNITIES, N.M.—To better support customers who prefer to pay their bills in person with cash or debit cards, New Mexico Water Service has partnered with Walmart to enable these customers to pay their water bills at Walmart Bill Pay service counters nationwide.

With Walmart Bill Pay, New Mexico Water customers have a new option to pay in person using cash or debit cards at any Walmart location that offers bill payment services, with extended hours including nights and weekends to fit customers’ busy schedules. Bill payments are posted in near real time, so customers’ accounts stay current.

“As we continuously strive to enhance service for our customers, we are pleased to offer Walmart Bill Pay to provide cash- and debit card-paying customers another convenient option,” said Cynthia Apodaca, New Mexico Water General Manager. “This is just one part of our promise to provide quality, service, and value to our customers.”

To use Walmart Bill Pay, customers should visit Walmart’s MoneyCenter or Customer Service Desk. Customers will need their New Mexico Water account number and should ask the Walmart associate to use Walmart Bill Pay same-day processing. There is a $2 processing fee to use Walmart Bill Pay.
