To make paying your Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Colorado River Agency Electrical Service (CRA-ES) electric power bill simpler and as hassle free as possible we offer several convenient ways for you to pay your bill.

You may pay your electric bill through use of checks, money order, cashier checks, and credit/debit cards. Credit/debit cards are accepted via phone.  The most convenient way to pay your electric bill is through the use of the free online bill payment service Pay.gov.  All merchant fees are paid by the US Treasury so there is no cost to use this service, and it does not cost the CRA-ES to offer the service.
