Past Due Accounts, Disconnects, and Loss of Service

Customers who do not pay their utility bills on time are notified on their utility bills that they have a balance forward and if it is not paid by the disconnect date it will result in their service being terminated. The notice will be on the utility bill along with the date of disconnect. If an account is disconnected, the entire balance plus a $25.00 fee has to be paid BEFORE service will be reconnected. Contact City Hall if you have any questions about the disconnect schedule and/or the disconnect list.

Unusually High Utility Bills

Any customer receiving unusually high bills for service should immediately check for plumbing problems, such as broken pipes, leaking commodes, and other causes of high usage. If a problem is not readily apparent, the customer may call City Hall at (912) 487-2375 ext. 221 or ext. 222 to have a work order created and the issue will be looked into.

Emergencies

Persons with plumbing emergencies such as broken pipes on private property or within the building causing flooding or damage to the property may request help from the City to stop the water at the water meter. The customer may call 911 for emergencies.
