Pay your Omaha MUD bill online, by phone, or by mail
Metropolitan Utilities District (MUD) offers three main ways to pay your water, wastewater, or natural gas bill immediately. The fastest route is the online payment portal at mudomaha.com, where you can pay with a bank account or debit card without creating an account. If you prefer to speak with someone, call MUD's customer service at 402-554-7777 during business hours. You can also mail a check to the address on your bill, though this takes longer.
Each method processes at different speeds. Online payments typically post within one business day. Phone payments process the same day if you call before 5 p.m. central time on a business day. Mailed checks take 7 to 10 business days to clear, so use this method only if your bill is not due soon.

Paying online without logging in
Go to mudomaha.com and look for the "Pay My Bill" button on the homepage. Click it and select "Pay as Guest" — you do not need a username or password. Enter your MUD account number, which appears at the top of your bill. The system will pull up your account and show your current balance.
Choose your payment amount and select your payment method: bank account (ACH transfer) or debit card. Bank account payments have no fee. Debit card payments carry a small processing fee, usually around $2 to $3 depending on the amount. Review the payment details, confirm the amount and due date, and submit. You will receive a confirmation number immediately — save this for your records.
Paying by phone with a MUD representative
Call 402-554-7777 and tell the representative you want to pay your bill. Have your account number ready. The representative will confirm your account details and ask how much you want to pay. You can pay the full balance, a partial amount, or the minimum due.
MUD accepts debit cards and bank account information over the phone. The representative will process the payment and give you a confirmation number. Phone payments made before 5 p.m. central time on a business day post the same day. If you call after hours, your payment will process the next business day.
Mailing a check or money order
Write a check or money order for the amount due and include your account number on the memo line. Mail it to the address printed on your bill — typically Metropolitan Utilities District, P.O. Box 66, Omaha, NE 68102, but always check your bill to confirm the current mailing address.
The post office takes 3 to 5 business days to deliver mail, and MUD takes another 3 to 5 business days to process and post the payment. This means your payment may not show on your account for 7 to 10 days. Do not use this method if your bill is due within the next week or if you are trying to stop a late fee.
Setting up automatic payments to avoid late bills
If you pay the same amount each month, MUD's automatic payment option removes the need to remember to pay. Log into your account at mudomaha.com, go to "Account Settings," and select "Autopay." Choose the day of the month you want the payment to come out and whether you want to pay your full bill or a set amount.
Automatic payments come from your bank account with no fee. You can change or cancel autopay anytime through your account. If your bill amount varies month to month (which is common for heating and cooling seasons), you can still set up autopay for a fixed amount and adjust it when the bill changes, or you can turn it off during months when you want to pay manually.
What to do if your bill is overdue or you cannot pay in full
If your bill is past due, paying any amount right now stops additional late fees from being added. You do not have to pay the full balance to stop the clock — a partial payment counts. Pay online or by phone to ensure the payment posts immediately.
If you cannot pay the full amount, contact MUD's customer service at 402-554-7777 to discuss a payment plan. MUD may offer extended payment terms or a budget billing option that spreads your costs evenly across the year. Explain your situation to the representative; many customers in hardship are able to work out a schedule that keeps service active while you catch up.
Finding your account number and bill information
Your MUD account number appears in the top right corner of your bill, usually next to your name and address. It is a six or seven-digit number. If you cannot find your bill, you can look up your account online at mudomaha.com by entering your address and last name, or call 402-554-7777 and a representative will provide your account number.
Your bill also shows the due date, current balance, and the address where MUD receives mailed payments. Keep this information handy when you pay, especially if you are paying by phone or mail.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a fee to pay online at mudomaha.com?
No fee if you pay with your bank account (ACH). Debit card payments carry a processing fee of roughly $2 to $3. The fee is shown before you confirm the payment, so you can choose your payment method based on the total cost.
How do I know my payment went through?
Online and phone payments give you a confirmation number immediately. Write it down or take a screenshot. Your payment will show as "pending" on your account within a few hours and will post as "paid" within one business day. If you mailed a check, call 402-554-7777 after 10 days to confirm it was received.
Can I pay someone else's MUD bill?
Yes. Use the "Pay as Guest" option on mudomaha.com and enter their account number instead of yours. By phone, tell the representative the account number you are paying for. You will need the account number but not the account holder's name or address.
What happens if I pay late?
MUD adds a late fee to your balance. The fee amount depends on your bill size and is shown on your next statement. Paying any amount, even partial, stops new late fees from accruing. If your account reaches a certain number of days past due, MUD may shut off service, so contact them as soon as you know you will be late.
Can I set up autopay for a different amount each month?
Autopay works best for a fixed amount. If your bill varies significantly (seasonal heating and cooling), you can set autopay for your average amount and adjust it manually when needed, or turn it off during months when you want to pay the exact bill amount yourself.
