Provider-specific findings
Relief research for this provider
The notes below may document a route, rule, or explicit public-information limit. General preparation steps are not represented as utility policy.
- Emergency reporting route
- (386) 671-8815, the Utilities Department's published 24/7 emergency telephone number. Billing matters and payment-related service interruptions use (386) 671-8100.
- Leak-adjustment policy
- Daytona Beach's code provides a sewer-only abatement once every 12 months when a qualifying leak caused excess water consumption but the water did not enter the City's sanitary sewer. The adjustment is limited to the overcharge in sewer charges, rather than an automatic waiver of all water and sewer usage. Customers should promptly correct the leak, retain plumber or repair documentation, identify the affected billing period and repair date, and submit the request to Utility Billing or the Utilities Department for review. The public customer pages do not publish one universal percentage cap, receipt format, or water-charge credit calculation; the City code and current staff determination control.
- Utility assistance program
- The City lists Volusia County Utility Assistance for eligible low-income households with a past-due electric or water balance; applicants schedule a caseworker appointment at (386) 239-7757. Daytona Beach also directs customers to United Way by dialing 211. The City does not publish a recurring local senior, disabled-veteran, or internally administered residential credit cap on its current utility pages.
- State and federal aid connection
- Daytona Beach's official Financial Assistance page connects customers to Volusia County Utility Assistance for eligible low-income households with past-due water balances and to United Way's 211 service. The City does not host a separate LIHWAP application form on the utility page; customers should ask the Volusia County caseworker and 211 about currently funded LIHWAP or other state/federal awards and request that an approved payment be credited to the City account.
