Need More Time to Pay the Balance on Your BWP Bill?
You can request a Pay Plan if you believe you will be unable to pay your BWP bill within the standard 21-day payment period. A Pay Plan is an agreement with BWP to make payments on the amount you owe over an extended timeframe. You can set up a Pay Plan in the billing section of your online account.
