Maynilad just launched their Paperless Billing Program which is a program that allows Maynilad customers the option to receive an Electronic Statement of Account (e-SOA) instead of the physical copy of their SOA.
Here is what I like about it going paperless.
1. On-the-go Convenience
With Maynilad Paperless Billing Program, I can access my account and pay my water bills online anytime, anywhere.
2. Reduced Carbon Footprint
I can help make the planet a little greener by eliminating the need to use paper. Paperless statements can help save our trees.
3. Less Stress
I no longer have to go through a pile of papers whenever I need to retrieve a past statement. And I can do away with paper clutter at home.
It removes the need for physical contact with meter readers to get your hard copy SOA, thus preventing possible COVID-19 transmission.
Who can enroll in the program?
Either the registered owner or the tenant/occupant can enroll in the program. One enrollee per account will be allowed.
How to enroll in the program?
Ø Customers with My Water Bill online portal account as of October 22, 2021
All customers with My Water Bill online portal account as of October 22, 2021 will be pre-enrolled in the program, thus they will stop receiving a printed SOA starting with their November 2021 billing.
These customers will receive SMS and email notifications regarding the pre-enrollment. Those who are not interested to enroll in the program may opt out. Just text MAYNILAD<space>OFF<space>PAPERLESS<space>CONTRACT ACCOUNT NUMBER send it to 09191626000.

Do I still need to enroll to the Maynilad Paperless Billing Program if I already have a My Water Bill portal account?
Ø Only the customers who will register to My Water Bill online portal account starting October 23, 2021 will still need to register. If you have portal account on or before October 22, 2021, you will be automatically enrolled to Paperless Billing Program. Please see details under How to enroll in the program.
When will my application be activated?
Ø The activation will take effect on your next reading schedule after your application has been approved. This means that you will start receiving the e-SOA in the next billing cycle, or one month after your application was approved.
