Please read below if you have not used this online service before.
nCourt is the only online payment option with whom Gore Public Works Authority (GPWA) has an agreement.
Other online, third-party payment options (like Doxo.com) may appear to be affiliated with Gore Public Works Authority (GPWA), but they are not. We cannot control IF (or when) we will receive any payments from entities like doxo.com. We receive no notifications a payment is being processed–that a third-party check has been mailed on your behalf–possibly resulting in a late payment or even disconnection due to non-payment. To make an AUTHORIZED online payment to GPWA, only use the nCOURT portal accessed via this page.
Payment will be reviewed during GPWA’s regular business hours. Therefore, your payment may take between 72 and 96 hours before being processed and approved OR rejected by Gore Public Works.
Note: Gore Public Works Authority does not accept payments online to reconnect service or use as meter deposits. All reconnection payments or meter deposits must be made in person through Gore Public Works Authority.
No payments of an amount less than the total amount due will be accepted.
You will need to have the GPWA account number (maximum of four digits) from your bill when making your online payment. (We do not accept payments for any other entities, including nearby rural water districts = make sure we are your water utility provider before paying your bill!).
If you have questions about the amount owed, please call GPWA at 918-489-2483. Bills are due on the 10th day of every month unless that date falls on a weekend or holiday, then it is the next business day. The TOTAL DUE UPON RECEIPT is the amount you pay on or before the due date. The PAST DUE AMOUNT includes the 10% late fee, which is applied the day after the due date. If the total bill is not paid by the 25th, your service will be subject to disconnect and a $50.00 reconnect fee and $15.00 water service charge will be charged per meter.
There is a non-refundable service fee for processing payments online. If payment is rejected, your processing fee will NOT be refunded. GPWA receives no money from this processing/convenience fee. This fee is 5% ($2.99 minimum). You will see the fee you will be charged before submitting your payment.

Other Payment Options
There are several ways other you can pay your water bill:
1. You can drop your payment off at the Gore Municipal Complex in the Utilities Dept. Office. We accept cash, check, money order or credit card. Or you may use the drop box located at the corner of our parking lot (201 S Main St). You can also call us with your credit card information (918-489-2483). Credit card payments made directly to/through our office do not incur a convenience fee.
2. You can mail a check or money order to Gore Public Works Authority, P.O. Box 329, Gore, OK 74435.
3. You can use your bank’s online Bill Payment. Your bank will mail us a check – this is NOT electronic. Your payment is usually received about 7-10 days after it is setup to pay. Contact your bank to ask them about their bill payment system.
4. Some of our customers have received UCards from UnitedHealthcare, which is a Medicare member ID card and gives access for many more benefits. On their website, one benefit listed for the UCard is to have the ability to pay eligible utilities.
Please note that the UnitedHealthcare UCard cannot be used in the following ways:
Cannot be swiped or entered in the office.
Cannot be used in our phone payment system or online payment program.
To gain access to your United Healthcare benefit of paying utilities, you must register for the UCard Hub website or mobile app
Registering your UCard- information for website: https://www.uhc.com/sign-in
Registering your UCard- information for mobile app: https://www.uhc.com/member-resources/health-care-tools/unitedhealthcare-app
Please then visit https://myuhc.com/communityplan to make a payment.
Payments made for utilities using your UCard benefits may take several business days to be received by Gore Public Works. Please allow up to 2 weeks for us to receive a payment made using UCard benefits. Payments must be received in a timely manner to prevent late charges or disconnection from occurring.
For more instruction and information on your United Healthcare UCard benefits, we encourage you to contact them directly at 1-800-607-2877. GPWA staff are unable to use the UCard to process a payment for your utility account in the office, by phone, or via our online payment system.
