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
- (770) 942-6633 for the Authority’s after-hours/weekend dispatch office; (770) 949-7617 during normal business hours. Dispatch is for emergencies and cannot handle billing questions.
- Leak-adjustment policy
- DDCWSA treats customer-side leaks as the account holder’s responsibility but offers a courtesy review for a leak rate adjustment. The leak must be repaired within 30 days after Authority notification or customer detection, and the request must be submitted within two months of the repair. The customer must keep the balance paid or maintain an approved payment arrangement while the request is pending; overdue amounts remain subject to late penalties and termination. The signed application must identify the account, service address, leak location, description, and repair date, and must include repair proof such as supply receipts or a licensed plumber invoice. If the customer performed the repair without a receipt, a signed letter must describe the work and date. DDCWSA states that no credit is issued until all required documentation is received and that submitting the form does not guarantee approval; the public form does not publish a universal credit percentage.
- Utility assistance program
- DDCWSA publishes a senior special water/sewer rate for a residential 5/8-inch or 3/4-inch meter when at least one responsible bill payer is age 65 or older, the household uses the property as its permanent residence, and annual household income is no more than $37,650 under the current form. A separate disabled-citizen discount form is published, but the public document reviewed does not expose a universal dollar cap; applicants should contact customer service for current eligibility and amount.
