Simply Pay Manila Water using the Manila Water App and GCash

This post explains how you can use the Manila Water app to check your bills and pay using GCash.

Paying your Manila Water Bill is already easy as you can pay from within the GCash app using Pay Bills. But an alternative method of payment is via the Manila Water App.

Why do I need to register in the Manila Water App?

This is not mandatory as you can opt to wait for your monthly bills via mail. But when you’ve registered for the app, the benefits are:

• You get your bills quickly
• You can look at your billing history up to a year back
• You can file support tickets
• You can pay your bill from within the app

How do I register in the Manila Water App?

Before starting, you would need a copy of any old bills from the past 6 months.

1. Go to the Manila Water App
2. Click on the Sign Up Now button. On the next page, choose “I Will Register a Non-Business / Non-Organization Account”
3. In the Account Verification page, input the data from any old bill you have.
4. On the last page, you would need to agree with the terms and conditions and input your other information.
5. Once you’ve inputted your OTP method (via email or mobile number), you would need to verify ownership.

Some of the other payment options are Bitcoin (via Coins.ph), Dragonpay (via Dragonpay Credit), and GrabPay.

Is there a benefit in paying from the GCash app instead?
