Provider Check: City Utilities, 311, Garbage or Private Plumbing?

City Utilities Customer Support handles the account; 311 handles many city service requests; property owners are responsible for plumbing beyond the curb stop.

💧

Water bill

Use City Utilities payment portal, phone, kiosk, mail or Walmart cash payment.

🚽

Sewer charge

Sewer bills are based on water consumption; well customers with City sewer may be charged a flat sewer rate.

🌧️

Stormwater fee

Inside-city properties with impervious surfaces pay stormwater fees even if no storm sewer is directly on the property.

🗑️

Garbage line

Garbage rates changed July 1, 2026 and can appear as a separate monthly utility charge.

Question
Correct route
Why it matters
“Where do I pay my Fort Wayne water bill?”
City Utilities Paymentus portal, phone, kiosk, Walmart cash or mail.
These are the official payment routes listed by Fort Wayne City Utilities.
“Why is sewer high when I watered lawn?”
Customer Support at 260-427-1234 and sewer-rate review.
City Utilities says sewer is based on water through the meter and lawn-watering adjustments are not given.
“Who fixes leak in my yard?”
City up to curb stop; owner beyond curb stop.
The utility maintains main line to the curb stop; customer handles plumbing from curb stop to residence except meter/meter connection.
“Who do I call for sewer backup?”
311 in Allen County or 260-427-8311 outside Allen County.
Sewer backup is a city-service problem, not just a billing question.
“Who turns water off for repairs?”
Water Maintenance & Service Dispatch at 260-427-2476 for active accounts needing repair shutoff.
Realtor guidance says a service charge applies for repair turn-off.
“Is MyWater the same as payment portal?”
No. MyWater tracks usage/leak alerts; Paymentus handles bill payment.
Use both together for a high-bill investigation.

Problem clue
What it may mean
Best Fort Wayne next step
Sudden daily spike in MyWater
Toilet leak, faucet leak, hose bib, irrigation, broken pipe or guest/pool use.
Check fixtures, read meter, then call 260-427-1234 if usage still looks wrong.
Red triangle on water meter spins while no water is being used
Likely leak inside property plumbing or between curb stop and residence.
Document meter movement and call a plumber or Customer Support depending on location.
Running toilet or faucet
Common household leak that can be hard to notice.
Repair quickly; keep receipt if asking about bill impact or payment arrangement.
Water bill high but no leak found
Meter issue, actual use, outdoor watering, pool fill, more people in home or billing period change.
Use City’s high-bill checklist and ask City Utilities to investigate if you are certain there is no leak.
Rusty water
Main break, fire fighting, construction, galvanized plumbing or water heater issue.
Check whether only hot water is affected; call if it persists or affects multiple fixtures.

Partially closed valve under sink, clogged screen/aerator or faucet repair issue.
Clean aerator and check local valve before reporting a system issue.
No water in whole home
Main valve off, frozen pipes, neighborhood main issue or unreported water main break.

Useful on every city water guide

Safe Water Bill Payment Checklist

Before paying online, use this checklist to reduce the risk of wrong payment, duplicate payment, missed receipt, or third-party confusion.

Do not wait: If you received a shutoff notice, online payment alone may not stop disconnection. Call the utility billing office and save your confirmation number.
