First Check: Is Water Utility Management LLC Your Provider?
Water Utility Management serves many separate community systems in coastal and south Georgia. A Savannah-area mailing address, subdivision name or county alone is not enough. Use the service map and the provider name on your bill before paying or applying.
Use the interactive map
Enter your service address. If it is not inside a shaded WUM area, WUM may not be your provider.
Check subdivision/system name
WUM’s CCR list is organized by individual water systems, so water quality reports depend on your exact community.
Match the bill
Pay WUM only if the statement or account record says Water Utility Management, LLC or uses the WUM portal.

Pay or Log In to Water Utility Management Online
The WUM Customer Portal is the safest online route because it connects directly to the utility account. Use Quick Pay for a one-time payment or register to view details, manage multiple accounts, enroll in AutoPay and change billing preferences.
Open the official portal
Go to Water Utility Management Customer Portal from WaterGA.com.
Choose Quick Pay or Sign In
Quick Pay requires your account number and no login. Sign in or register if you want account details, multiple-account management, e-Billing or AutoPay.
Choose card, eCheck or ACH draft
Cards have a 3.65% processing fee or $2.50 minimum. eCheck through the portal has a $1.95 convenience fee. ACH bank draft from a valid checking account has no WUM fee when set up through the separate ACH form.
Confirm enough funds for fees
The portal warns that a credit card must have enough funds to cover the balance plus processing fees, or the payment can decline.
Save confirmation and check balance
Keep the confirmation number and log back in to verify the balance. If the account is late or near suspension, call Customer Care after payment.

Bi-Monthly Bills, Late Fees, Suspension and Restoration
WUM bills about every 60 days. The due date printed on the bill controls, and customers are responsible for paying on time even if a bill is not received. Late and suspension dates can vary slightly because of the work week, so use the printed due date and printed suspension date on your notice.
Every 55-65 days
Applications and policy materials describe bills as approximately bi-monthly or about six bills per year.
$15 late fee
Assessed if the bill is not paid by the due date printed on the bill.
$60 suspension fee
Assessed when the account reaches suspension status on the printed suspension date.
$35 NSF fee
Returned checks are charged a $35 NSF fee and can lead to immediate collection action.
Situation |
WUM rule / risk |
Best action |
|---|---|---|
Bill generated |
Customers receive a bill approximately every 60 days; due date is printed on the bill. |
Enroll in e-Billing and add WUM emails to contacts. |
Bill not received |
Customer is still responsible for paying on time. |
Call office, use phone system or portal to check balance. |
Payment after due date |
$15 late fee applies if bill is not paid by printed due date. |
Pay immediately and contact Customer Care if hardship or posting question exists. |
Late account reaches suspension date |
At 9:00 AM on the suspension date, $60 suspension fee is charged and service may be locked out. |
Pay all past due and current amounts before the suspension date, then confirm posting. |
Service locked out |
To reinstate, customer must pay arrears, current balance and suspension fee. |
Pay full amount and call Customer Care; restoration occurs within the next business day after payment receipt. |
Account remains suspended or owes money over 60 days |
May be sent to a collection agency and could affect credit reporting. |
Resolve before 60-day collection escalation. |
Customer forces open a locked valve or tampers with meter |
Vandalism/tampering charges and possible legal action can apply. |
Do not touch meter box, valve or lock; call WUM for help. |
Returned check |
$35 NSF fee; after two returned checks, WUM will not accept payment in that form. |
Use reliable payment method and verify bank details before due date. |
Suspension shortcut: once a $60 suspension fee is triggered, paying only the older past-due amount may not restore service. Ask Customer Care for the full amount due, including arrears, current balance, suspension fee and any returned-payment charges.
High Water Bill, Meter Check and Leak Bill Relief
High WUM bills commonly come from irrigation, toilet leaks, faucet leaks, outdoor spigots, stuck sprinkler valves, pool filling or more accurate updated meters. WUM encourages customers to check usage, read the meter and contact Customer Care when a bill looks unusual.
Toilet leaks are common
A continuously running toilet can waste up to 200 gallons a day and can double typical household use.
Irrigation can spike bills
WUM’s example says a standard garden-hose sprinkler for one hour can use about 1,020 gallons.
Leak relief may help
Eligible enrolled customers can request leak bill relief once every 12 months, up to $5,000.
High-bill check |
How to check |
Next step |
|---|---|---|
Portal balance and prior bills |
Log in to the Customer Portal and review current balance, past statements and account history. |
Compare the high bill to the same season or prior bi-monthly period. |
Toilet leak |
Put food coloring or dye tablet in the toilet tank, wait at least 20 minutes without flushing, then check the bowl. |
If color appears in bowl, repair flapper/fill valve and keep receipt. |
Faucet or outdoor spigot |
Place a cup below faucets, inspect under sinks and check outdoor hose bibs. |
Repair drips; a faucet can waste up to 20 gallons per day depending on severity. |
Irrigation system |
Run each zone and check broken heads, stuck valves, overspray, runoff and timer programming. |
Fix broken heads and reduce summer runtime. |
Meter leak test |
Turn off all indoor/outdoor water, record meter reading, wait at least 20 minutes, then read again. |
If the reading changed or flow rate is not zero, water is moving somewhere. |
Updated meter hardware |
New ultrasonic meters may capture flow more accurately than older meters. |
Ask WUM to review usage and meter-read history if the spike is unexplained. |
Leak Bill Relief Program |
Submit application and proof of repair, such as plumber receipt or parts receipt. |
Eligible customers can receive credit for excess usage caused by verified leak. |
Opt-out status |
Leak Relief participation is voluntary; enrolled customers pay $2 per month / $4 per bi-monthly bill. |
If you opted out, rejoining can involve a two-billing-cycle waiting period before eligibility. |
Leak relief documents: send the leak relief application and supporting proof by email to CustomerCare@WaterGA.com, fax 912-355-4466 Attn: Water Bill Adjustment, mail to P.O. Box 1526, or submit in person at 28 Abercorn Street.
Water Quality, CCRs, Hard Water and Conservation Rules
WUM water quality is system-specific. Use the Consumer Confidence Report for your exact water system rather than a general Georgia water page. WUM explains that many customers receive water from underground aquifers, commonly the Floridan Aquifer System, and that naturally hard water can leave calcium residue without being unsafe.
Question |
WUM guidance |
Customer action |
|---|---|---|
Where is my water quality report? |
Consumer Confidence Reports are organized by water system name and WSID. |
Use the CCR page, find your community/system, then open the newest report. |
When are CCRs published? |
WUM says CCRs are published by July of the current year and summarize previous year laboratory results. |
Use the latest year available for your specific system. |
Does WUM test for bacteria? |
WUM states microbiological/Bac-T sampling occurs monthly. |
Call Customer Care if you have taste, odor, color or health-related questions. |
Why is my water hard? |
WUM explains Georgia aquifer water can contain calcium and manganese from limestone formations. |
Clean fixtures periodically or use an in-home softener if preferred. |
Is white scale or sediment always dangerous? |
WUM says hardness is not dangerous and has no adverse health effects, though it can create limescale. |
Flush/clean fixtures and call WUM if sediment does not resolve. |
Outdoor watering rule |
Georgia’s permanent outdoor watering rule generally limits planting/growing/maintaining landscape watering to between 4 PM and 10 AM. |
Program irrigation to avoid the 10 AM-4 PM heat window. |
Level 1 drought notice exceptions |
WUM lists personal food gardens, new plant/turf establishment for 30 days, drip/soaker irrigation and hand watering as anytime activities under Level 1 notice. |
Check current Georgia EPD and WUM notices before changing schedules. |
Conservation rate structure |
WUM uses conservation-based rates where consumption costs increase as users move into higher rate blocks. |
Cut outdoor use and leaks first when bills climb. |
Wastewater Service, Sewer Responsibility and What Not to Flush
Some WUM customers receive wastewater service from WUM and some do not. Check your bi-monthly bill to see whether wastewater appears as a WUM service for your account.
Wastewater topic |
WUM responsibility |
Customer responsibility |
|---|---|---|
Does WUM provide my wastewater service? |
WUM owns and operates more than 20 wastewater systems. |
Check your bill for wastewater service lines through WUM. |
Wastewater mains and lift stations |
WUM is responsible for wastewater mains, lift stations, treatment facilities and drain fields that manage wastewater. |
Report issues to WUM Customer Care or after-hours answering service when urgent. |
Home sewer lateral |
WUM does not take responsibility for private lines inside the home. |
Customer is responsible for wastewater lines and fixtures in the home, septic tank, wastewater pump if applicable and service line to WUM main. |
Septic tank |
WUM’s page describes septic tank function in applicable systems. |
WUM recommends septic-company pump-out of solids every 3-5 years to reduce backups. |
Septic filter |
Not a WUM fixture inside the customer system. |
Clean or replace filter on discharge side every 6 months if applicable. |
Backups or sewer problems |
WUM says it can schedule investigation to identify a timely resolution. |
If problem is on customer side, customer should contact a plumber. |
Flushable wipes |
WUM warns wipes and cloth do not dissolve like toilet paper and can block sewer systems. |
Flush only toilet paper; keep wipes, grease and cloth out of toilets/drains. |
Outages, Emergencies, Meter Tampering and Disaster Prep
Because WUM operates many separate systems, outage status can depend on the exact community. Use the interactive service map, WUM social updates and the phone answering service for active issues.
Problem |
Best route |
Say this |
Have ready |
|---|---|---|---|
No water / low pressure |
Call 912-352-9339; after hours, calls route to answering service. |
“I have no water or low pressure at [service address/system name].” |
Account number, address, whether neighbors are affected and time started. |
Water leak in meter box or community system |
Call WUM Customer Care / answering service. |
“Water is leaking at [location], possibly near the meter/system equipment.” |

Need water shut off for plumbing emergency |
Call WUM; do not tamper with meter box equipment. |
“I need help shutting off water safely due to a private plumbing emergency.” |
Address, emergency type and plumber arrival time. |
Locked-out service after nonpayment |
Pay full required balance, then call WUM. |
“My locked-out account has been paid; I need restoration instructions.” |
Payment confirmation and account number. |
Someone inside well site or utility facility |
Call police if the person is not in an identifiable WUM truck. |
“Someone is inside a WUM well site/facility and may not be authorized.” |
Location, vehicle/person description and direction of travel. |
Tropical storm or hurricane |
Use WUM website, interactive map, phone answering service and official emergency management notices. |
“I need service status for [system/community].” |
Service address and local evacuation/boil-water notice status. |
Do not tamper: WUM says the meter box, meter, valve and service line inside the meter box are utility property. Forcing a locked valve, cutting a lock or damaging equipment can lead to fees, repairs, police notification and theft-of-services action.
