To make sure your payment will be posted, you have to take some crucial steps. Surprisingly, many skip these since paying bills already feels like a mundane task. Nevertheless, it doesn’t hurt to do some double-checking.

- If you’re paying offline, bring your Statement of Account.
- When making check payments, see to it that the recipient is Maynilad Water Services, Inc. Don’t forget to write the following at the back of the check: your contract account number, account name, contact number, and service address.
