When to Call Utilities Billing Instead of Water Maintenance

Zanesville separates billing/account issues from water maintenance and sewer management issues. The Utilities Billing department bills and collects charges for water, sewer and sanitation. It also handles customer service, unusual bill questions and scheduling service calls when more information is needed.

Water Maintenance Issues in Zanesville: Who to Call

The Water Division’s maintenance responsibilities include treating and pumping water, reading and servicing meters, repairing water lines, locating city pipes, maintaining valves and fire hydrants, and handling water street cuts.

1. Identify whether it is billing or maintenance.
   A high bill or account balance is billing. A visible water line issue, meter/service issue or water maintenance concern may need Water Maintenance.
2. Call the correct department.
   For water maintenance, call 740-455-0631. For billing/new service, call 740-617-4916.
3. Give the exact location.
   Share the service address, nearest intersection, visible leak location, meter location or hydrant/valve location.
4. Document safely.
   Take photos or video only if safe. Do not enter flooded or unsafe areas.
5. Follow up with billing only if needed.
   If the issue affects your bill, keep repair notes and then contact Utilities Billing after the maintenance issue is reported.

Sewer Backup or Sewer Maintenance in Zanesville

The City’s Sewer Maintenance guidance explains that the City is responsible for the sewer main pipe, while homeowners are responsible for the pipe extended to the home, often called the sewer lateral. The City says Sewer Maintenance staff are available 24 hours daily for sewer backup related issues and recommends calling this division before calling a plumber.

What to do before calling a plumber

• Stop using drains if sewage is backing up inside.
• Keep children and pets away from sewage or contaminated water.
• Call the City sewer/wastewater contact for guidance before hiring a plumber.
• Ask whether the issue may involve the main line or your private lateral.
• Take photos only if it is safe and useful for your records.

Quick Pay vs. Sign In: Which Option Should You Use?

The Zanesville payment portal offers both Quick Pay and sign-in/registration. Use the option that matches your need.

Start, Stop or Update Zanesville Utility Service

Zanesville water accounts are tied closely to the property. The City’s Water Rules and Regulations say owners of real property supplied with water are liable for water charges, and property owners remain responsible even if bills are mailed in care of a tenant or another non-owner.

High Zanesville Utility Bill Checklist

Zanesville utility billing can include water, sewer, sanitation and storm sewer-related charges. The City rules also explain that bills can include minimum charges and that charges may be estimated when a meter reading is not obtained. Before disputing a high bill, separate the charge types.

Before calling Utilities Billing, collect this

• Current bill and previous bill.
• Account number exactly as shown on your bill.
• Service address and property owner/customer information.
• Last payment amount and confirmation if you recently paid.
• Which line increased: water, sewer, sanitation, storm sewer or other charge.
• Any leak repair receipt, plumber invoice, photos or service notes.
• Whether the bill appears estimated or based on an actual meter reading.

Payment Arrangements, Liens and Owner Responsibility

Zanesville’s water rules are important for property owners. The rules state that unpaid water or sewer charges may lead to property-related collection action, including certification to the county auditor in certain circumstances. The rules also say Utilities Billing may make payment arrangements with the property owner before certification.
