Choose the Right Floyd County Water Action

Floyd County water billing is not a generic “pay anytime” situation. The date matters, the disconnect notice may already be printed on your bill, and missed bills still require customer follow-up.

If Your Floyd County Water Bill Has Not Arrived by the 10th

Floyd County’s billing information makes this clear: if your bill has not arrived by the 10th, the customer must contact the billing office for the amount due. This matters because late fees and disconnection rules still apply even if you were waiting on the mail.

  1. Check your last water bill.
    Find your account number, customer ID, service address, and usual billing amount.
  2. Contact Floyd County Water Department.
    Call 706-291-5130 and ask for the current amount due.
  3. Ask whether there is any account issue.
    Confirm the mailing address, service address, and whether the account has any past-due balance.

    Paying before the due window closes helps avoid the 10% penalty.
  5. Keep proof of your call and payment.
    Note the date, time, amount quoted, and payment confirmation.

Disconnected for Non-Payment? What Floyd County Says Happens Next

Floyd County’s billing page says services disconnected for non-payment will be turned on the following business day after receipt of payment and fees. That means paying after cutoff does not always mean same-day restoration.

Urgent step: Call 706-291-5130 before or immediately after paying a disconnected account. Ask for the full payoff amount, required fees, and expected restoration timing.
  1. Confirm the total amount due.
    The balance may include the unpaid bill, 10% penalty, cut-off fee, reconnect-related charges, returned check fees, or other account fees.
  2. Pay using the method the office recommends.
    For urgent restoration, ask whether online, card, walk-in, drive-thru, or another method is best.
  3. Save your receipt.
    Keep proof of payment in case the office needs to verify payment before restoration is scheduled.
  4. Do not turn water back on yourself.
    Floyd County warns that customers turning water back on after disconnection for non-payment or deposit may be subject to prosecution for unauthorized reinstatement.
  5. Ask about next-business-day timing.
    Confirm when service is expected to be restored and whether anyone must be present.

High Bill or Leak Repair? What Proof Floyd County Requires

If your water bill increased because of a leak, do not call with only a verbal explanation. Floyd County says no adjustments will be made unless the request includes a copy of a plumber’s bill or a receipt showing parts purchased for the repair.

Running toilet Often causes high usage without a visible puddle. Save parts receipts if you replace flappers, valves, or fill assemblies.
Underground leak Keep plumber invoice, photos, repair date, and any excavation documentation.
Water heater leak Save plumber invoice, replacement receipt, or repair part proof.
Outdoor line Check spigots, hose bibs, irrigation, barns, workshops, and exterior plumbing.
Billing history Use Citizen Self Service to review past history and compare normal usage.
Call with documents Have account number, bill amount, repair date, and proof ready before calling.

Documents to keep for an adjustment request

  • Current bill and previous bill.
  • Account number and service address.
  • Plumber’s bill or receipt showing repair parts.
  • Repair date and description of what was fixed.
  • Photos of the leak or damaged part, if available.
  • Payment confirmation if you paid the bill while waiting for review.
