The short answer: North County has several water agencies, and the one on your bill depends on your street, not just your town (Solana Beach and Encinitas each have more than one). Your bill names it; or put your address into the Water Authority's Find My Water District lookup, or see who is my water company. Then pay online, by phone or in person:
