In order to avoid late fees, penalties, and water service shut-off for non-payment, it's important to know the "life cycle" of your bill and the key dates used to determine when your bill is considered unpaid or past due.
If you ever have questions or concerns about your utility account, please contact the Utility Services Division at (912) 651-6460 or use our online contact form at www.savannahga.gov/customercontact.
