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- Monthly; the county states that automatic payments are withdrawn on the due date each month and paperless customers receive bill details monthly.
- Rate structure
- Increasing block water tiers plus a uniform sewer volumetric rate for single-family residential accounts. In 2026, water is $5.78 per 1,000 gallons through 8,000 gallons, $8.67 from 8,001-12,000, and $11.56 above 12,000; sewer is $9.43 per 1,000 gallons. Irrigation and builder accounts are billed at twice the tier-one water rate.
- Residential cost reference
- At 5,000 gallons, the published 2026 volumetric estimate is approximately $28.90 water plus $47.15 sewer, or $76.05 before any fixed, stormwater, or other account charges. At 7,000 gallons, it is approximately $40.46 water plus $66.01 sewer, or $106.47 before other charges.
- Wastewater and sewer calculation
- For the county water system, single-family sewer is published as $9.43 per 1,000 gallons. The reviewed page does not state a winter-average cap or separate sewer averaging formula; customers should use the county's rate-and-fee schedule for account-specific fixed charges and any special class rules.
- Meter reading
- The portal supports monthly fire-hydrant readings and customer billing history, but the reviewed county pages do not identify whether every residential meter is AMR or AMI or publish a universal transmission interval. Usage and account history are available through the self-service portal.
- New-account deposit
- The current page states a $25 non-refundable residential activation fee and says a security deposit is required for all commercial accounts. It does not identify a universal residential deposit or credit-check waiver.
- Activation or transfer fee
- $25 non-refundable residential activation fee; it also applies when one account is closed and a new account is opened for a transfer. Gwinnett connects Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m., can schedule up to 14 days ahead, does not offer same-day service, and may require up to two business days.
