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
- Paulding County Water System Operations Department, 770-445-2761, available 24 hours for leaks between the water meter and road and water emergencies. Customer-service and payment questions use the office during business hours.
- Leak-adjustment policy
- The County distinguishes county-side leaks from customer-side leaks: report a leak between the meter and road to Operations at 770-445-2761, while a leak after the meter is generally the customer's responsibility. The reviewed 2026 pamphlet does not publish a general high-bill credit equation, repair-receipt requirement, cap, or one-time allowance; customers should document repairs and request a written adjustment review rather than assume a credit.
- Utility assistance program
- The reviewed Paulding County water materials do not identify a local senior, disabled-veteran, or income-based water credit or fixed assistance cap. Customers with delinquent balances should call the County before the delinquent notice date to ask about payment arrangements or referrals.
- State and federal aid connection
- No current Georgia LIHWAP application URL, state water grant cap, or nonprofit tie-in is identified in the reviewed Paulding County 2026 materials. Customers should ask Paulding County Water System staff or county human-services offices for current aid referrals.
