City of Savannah Utility Services Quick Facts

Choose Your Savannah Utility Billing Task

The best next step depends on what is actually wrong. A normal online payment, missing bill, leak adjustment, transfer request, and payment arrangement all use different actions.

How to Pay Your City of Savannah Utility Bill Online

The safest way to pay online is to start from the official City of Savannah Pay Utility Bill Online page. The City’s system asks for the Account Number and Barcode from the payment coupon, so keep the paper bill or PDF bill in front of you before starting.

1. Open the official payment page.
   Start here: City of Savannah Pay Utility Bill Online.
2. Locate your account number and barcode.
   Use the payment coupon from your utility bill. The barcode is on the return stub, directly below your account number.
3. Enter the details exactly.
   Do not guess. If the barcode or account number is unreadable, call (912) 651-6460 before submitting payment.
4. Confirm the amount and account.
   Check your service address, balance, billing period, and payment amount before submitting.
5. Save payment proof.
   Keep your confirmation number, receipt email, or screenshot until the payment appears on your account.

Savannah Utility Account Number and Barcode Help

Savannah’s payment process can confuse customers because it needs more than a simple account login. The City FAQ says the barcode is located on the return stub of the bill, directly below the account number. The barcode remains the same as long as you keep the same account at the same address, and a new barcode is issued when service transfers to a new address.

Missing Savannah Utility Bill or No Bill Received

The City FAQ says Savannah utility bills are issued bi-monthly. If you are not receiving bills, the City says to contact Customer Service at (912) 651-6460 to verify your mailing address and balance.

1. Check when your last bill arrived.
   Because bills are bi-monthly, compare against your normal billing pattern before assuming no balance is due.
2. Verify your mailing address.
   Call (912) 651-6460 and ask whether the mailing address on file is correct.
3. Ask for the current balance.
   Do not wait for another paper bill if the due date may be close.
4. Ask whether a transfer changed your barcode.
   A new barcode is issued when service transfers to a new address.
5. Write down the call details.
   Keep notes with the date, time, staff guidance, balance and any payment instructions.

Payment Arrangements for City of Savannah Utility Bills

Savannah says it offers flexible payment arrangements to help utilities customers who have fallen behind. The best time to ask is before the account reaches a more serious service status.

1. Review your latest bill.
   Know your balance, due date, service address and any past-due amount.
2. Call customer service.
   Ask what arrangement options are available for your account.
3. Ask what must be paid now.
   Some arrangements may require an initial payment or continued payment of new bills.
4. Confirm the due dates.
   Write down each date, amount and what happens if you miss a payment.
5. Ask about assistance if eligible.
   The City says low-income senior or disabled residents should review Community Assistance information for possible discounts or additional assistance.

City of Savannah Leak Adjustment: What to Do After a Water Leak

If a water leak caused a high utility bill, Savannah says you can apply for an adjustment once repairs are completed and documentation is received and approved by the City. This means you should repair first, keep proof, and then submit the adjustment request.

1. Find and repair the leak.
   Common causes include toilets, irrigation, underground lines, water heater issues, hose bibs, or appliance supply lines.
2. Keep repair documentation.
   Save plumber invoices, contractor bills, material receipts, photos, and the repair date.
3. Open the official leak adjustment page.
   Use the City page here: City of Savannah Leak Adjustment.
4. Complete the Water & Sewer Leak Adjustment Form.
   Read the form carefully before submitting so you understand what documentation is required.
5. Continue monitoring your bill.
   A leak adjustment request does not automatically remove the full bill. Keep checking your account and follow up if needed.

Transfer or Disconnect City of Savannah Utility Service

If you are moving within Savannah, leaving a property, or changing service responsibility, use the official Transfer or Disconnect Service instructions instead of trying to solve it through a payment page.
