Billing and account research from public material
Provider-specific research notes are displayed separately from fields that contain only an unavailable-information marker. Read qualifiers in each note and verify current account terms with the provider.
- Billing frequency
- Monthly statements; payments are due within 20 days of the bill date.
- Rate structure
- 2026 water and sewer rates are published in a City rate brochure and include a residential lifeline rate for qualified users. The reviewed page does not reproduce the full rate table.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- The City provides a combined water and wastewater bill estimator; wastewater rates do not apply to certain Hall County, Braselton, Flowery Branch, or Oakwood customers. The reviewed page does not expose a winter-average formula.
- Meter reading
- The City offers a Water Use Customer Portal and leak-related resources, but the reviewed page does not establish meter technology or read schedule.
- New-account deposit
- A residential deposit is required before service. It may be waived with a good payment history of no more than two late payments in 12 months or an Equifax score of 700 or above. After 24 complete months with no more than two penalties in 24 months, the deposit is automatically applied to the active account; when closed and no balance is due, the remaining deposit is refunded.
