Payment research for this provider
The compiled notes distinguish confirmed channels from details the public material did not expose. Fields containing only an unavailable-information marker are grouped in the research record below.
- Phone payment number
- 706-529-0001, then Option 1 for Dalton Utilities utilities
- Pay-by-text
- Dalton Utilities says Pay by Text sends bill notifications that can be paid by replying to the text after a default payment method is established. The reviewed page does not publish a keyword or short code; enrollment is handled through the customer portal's notification/payment settings and requires a stored default payment method.
- Mail-in payment address
- Dalton Utilities, P.O. Box 745147, Atlanta, GA 30374-5147. The separate OptiLink address, P.O. Box 745091, Atlanta, GA 30374-5091, is for broadband and should not be used for the water utility account.
- In-person payment
- The main office is at 1200 V.D. Parrott Jr. Parkway, Dalton, GA 30721, open Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.; drive-through kiosk lanes at that office operate Monday-Friday 6:00 a.m.-9:00 p.m. Additional kiosks are inside Loa Bakery, 737 Riverbend Road, open Monday-Sunday 8:00 a.m.-9:00 p.m., and La Providencia, 1300 Underwood Street, open Monday-Saturday 8:00 a.m.-9:00 p.m. and Sunday 8:00 a.m.-8:00 p.m. Kiosks accept cash or credit card, do not accept coins and give no change; payments post the same day. The office page directs customers with a cut-off notice to call 706-278-1313.
- Digital payment methods
- The phone IVR accepts credit card, electronic check and debit card. Online payment accepts debit or credit card; bank draft can draw from a checking account, debit card or credit card. The reviewed public pages do not identify Apple Pay or Google Pay.
- Online convenience fees
- No convenience fee is charged for Dalton Utilities phone payments according to the payment page. The reviewed public page does not publish a separate 2026 online card or e-check fee, so the online rate is not publicly documented rather than assumed to be zero.
