TPU Pay Box

It is easy to pay any utility bill at a TPU Pay Box using cash, a personal check or an American Express, Visa, MasterCard or Discover. Our Pay Boxes are located at select grocery stores throughout Pierce County and at our Administration Building at 3628 S. 35th St.

Please note we cannot accept money orders, cashier’s checks, traveler’s checks or foreign checks at Pay Boxes.

Some locations are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and all locations offer English and Spanish prompts. View a map of all Pay Box locations.

In Person

You can schedule an appointment to visit the TPU lobby using our new online scheduling tool up to seven days in advance. This reduces wait time and limits the number of guests in our lobby. Our lobby is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
