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
- 678-376-6800; Gwinnett identifies a 24-hour automated system and directs water-related problems through the Department of Water Resources emergency pathway.
- Leak-adjustment policy
- Gwinnett provides English and Spanish Leak Adjustment Request Forms and allows customers to submit leak-adjustment requests through the self-service portal. The customer should investigate the high usage, repair the qualifying private-side leak, retain repair documentation, and submit the request for county review; the reviewed public page does not expose a universal percentage or maximum-credit formula, so the approved adjustment must be confirmed on the current form and account decision.
- Utility assistance program
- The reviewed Gwinnett customer-care pages provide billing support, payment options, and county assistance/rebate links but do not publish a universal 2026 senior, disabled-veteran, or low-income water-credit cap for this PWS. Customers should contact DWR Customer Care at 678-376-6800 for current eligibility and funding.
- State and federal aid connection
- Gwinnett publishes county assistance and rebate pathways, but the reviewed pages do not identify a direct 2026 LIHWAP intake URL or guaranteed federal water-assistance amount. Use Gwinnett County customer care and Georgia's current low-income assistance channels for referrals.
