Gwinnett County schedules automatic payments for the bill due date. If you enrolled recently, verify whether the next bill is covered before skipping a manual payment.

How to Start, Stop or Transfer Water Service

Gwinnett Water Resources allows customers to request account services through its customer portal.

Starting New Water Service

  2. Choose Start Water Service or access the online service request through the billing portal.
  3. Provide the property address and required contact and account information.
  4. Select an available connection date.

  6. Keep the confirmation and monitor your account for service instructions.

Service Scheduling

Weekdays

Standard connections are scheduled Monday–Friday during business hours.

The County’s service guidance indicates that new connections can be scheduled up to 14 days in advance, generally require up to two business days for processing and are not offered as same-day connections.

Stopping or Transferring Water Service

Use your online account to request service cancellation or transfer, or contact Customer Care. The County processes disconnections Monday through Thursday and can schedule them up to 14 days ahead.

Disconnections are not normally scheduled on weekends, standard holidays, the day before a holiday or outside business hours. Requests are scheduled by calendar date rather than a guaranteed hour.

Moving tip: The existing account holder remains responsible for water consumption, base fees and billing until the account is properly closed or service is disconnected. Submit the request before leaving the property.

If you need to cancel a scheduled service request, call 678-376-6800 promptly. Email cancellation requests may take up to two business days to process.

Gwinnett County Water Rates for 2026

Gwinnett County publishes tiered residential water consumption rates. Higher usage can move part of your monthly consumption into a more expensive tier.

Single-Family Residential Water Usage2026 Rate
First 8,000 gallons$5.78 per 1,000 gallons
8,001–12,000 gallons$8.67 per 1,000 gallons
More than 12,000 gallons$11.56 per 1,000 gallons

Example: Water Consumption Charges for 10,000 Gallons

Under the published tiered water rates:

  • First 8,000 gallons: 8 × $5.78 = $46.24
  • Next 2,000 gallons: 2 × $8.67 = $17.34
  • Example water consumption charge: $63.58

This is not a complete bill estimate. Base charges, wastewater charges, stormwater fees and other applicable account charges are separate.

Local usage tip: During warm Georgia summers, outdoor irrigation can quickly push household use above 8,000 or 12,000 gallons. Check your sprinkler schedule and compare seasonal consumption before assuming the meter reading is wrong.

For additional charges and official billing information, visit Gwinnett Water Resources Rates and Customer Care.

Overdue Water Bill, Late Fees or Disconnection Notice

Gwinnett County announced that water bill late fees resumed on August 31, 2026, after the billing-system transition. If your bill is overdue, check the notice or current account balance rather than assuming the temporary fee suspension still applies.

  1. Log in or use QuickPay to check the current amount owed.
  2. Read any disconnection notice carefully.
  3. Contact 678-376-6800 before the deadline if you need account assistance.
  4. Ask whether a payment arrangement or extension is available.
  5. Use an accepted payment method and save the confirmation.
  6. Confirm the account’s status when disconnection is imminent.

Need Extra Time to Pay?

Gwinnett’s assistance page directs customers needing additional time before disconnection to call 678-602-4559.

The County also lists local nonprofit organizations that may offer utility assistance, depending on eligibility and available funding.

Official Payment Assistance Resources ↗

Do not rely on an old assistance program. Gwinnett County states that its Water Resources Assistance Program has ended. Other local organizations may still provide help, but eligibility and funding must be confirmed directly.

Why Is My Gwinnett Water Bill Higher Than Usual?

Gwinnett County uses tiered water rates, so increased consumption can affect your bill in two ways: more water is used, and some of it may be charged at a higher rate.

Check These Items Before Disputing the Bill

  • Monthly water usage: Compare gallons consumed with previous months and the same season last year.
  • Irrigation system: Look for broken sprinkler heads or unusually long watering schedules.
  • Running toilets: A toilet that silently leaks can add substantial usage over several weeks.
  • Underground leaks: Watch for wet patches or unusual water movement near outdoor plumbing.
  • Billing charges: Check wastewater, stormwater, base fees and previous balances separately.
  • Billing history: The County’s portal provides up to 18 months of account history.

How to Request Help With a Leak

  1. Check whether water continues being used when all household fixtures are turned off.
  2. Inspect common leak sources, especially toilets and irrigation systems.
  3. Arrange appropriate repairs and retain invoices or documentation.
  4. Log in to the County’s customer portal to review available leak-adjustment request options.
  5. Contact Customer Care if you need help understanding eligibility.

Gwinnett County generally does not repair leaks on privately owned customer plumbing. A leak between the home and the meter may require a licensed plumbing professional.

Report a Water Main Break, Outage or Sewer Backup

The Department of Water Resources operates a 24-hour dispatch center for water, sewer and stormwater emergencies.

Gwinnett Water Resources Emergency Dispatch

678-376-7000

Available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Call for These Problems

  • Water-main or street water leaks
  • Unexpected water outages
  • Sewer backups and sewage spills
  • Overflowing manholes
  • Sinkholes
  • Major stormwater flooding
  • Broken public storm drains

When reporting an outage, provide the exact address and the nearest cross street. This helps crews identify the affected section of the water network.

For publicly reported service interruptions, visit the official Gwinnett Water Outages page.

Water meter full of water? Heavy rain can collect in the meter box, but a water-line leak is also possible. Gwinnett County recommends contacting emergency dispatch for an inspection when the meter box is full of water.

Important Gwinnett Water Payment Scam Warning

Gwinnett County warns residents about a misleading website address that resembles the County’s water billing shortcut.

The official County shortcut uses the letters H2O, ending in the letter O. A lookalike domain replaces that letter with the number zero and is not affiliated with Gwinnett Water Resources.

The safest approach is to start from the County’s verified government payment page:

Official Gwinnett County Water Bill Payment ↗

  • Do not enter payment details into unfamiliar lookalike domains.
  • Do not provide Social Security numbers to unsolicited utility callers.
  • Be cautious of unexpected promises of government-funded utility credits.
  • Confirm payment questions through the County’s published phone number.

The County also advises residents that Water Resources employees do not visit homes to collect indoor tap-water samples as part of routine County water testing. Verify unexpected visits before allowing access.
