We also have a secure drop box located in the driveway of the entrance to the Customer Service Center (between the flag poles), which is accessible 24 hours a day. Please note that payments deposited in the drop box after our office opens will not be posted to your account until the following business day.
Online Banking Through Your Own Financial Institution
Padre Dam does accept payments made through your financial institution’s online payment service. However, some banks continue to mail paper checks in the mail, which means it could take up to one week for us to receive your payment. Please check with your financial institution for more information on timing. Because of the possible time delay, if your account is near due or shut-off status we do not recommend this method of payment.
Delinquent Payments
All delinquency processes will proceed unless an appropriate payment is received. If your account is delinquent and will potentially be subject to a delinquency process we recommend you contact Customer Service and speak with a representative as soon as possible. Customer Service can be reached at 619-448-3111 from 9 am to 4:30 pm, Monday through Thursday, and 8 am to 12 pm on Friday.
