Water Bill Assistance for Flint Residents

Flint residents who are behind on water bills should check current City announcements and assistance contacts before assuming no help exists. The City has announced water bill assistance programs for eligible residents at different times, including local affordability and emergency assistance options.

Key phone numbers from City announcements: For current account questions, call the Water Customer Service Center at 810-766-7015. For the Local Water Utility Affordability program announcement, the City listed the Neighborhood Services Center Emergency Services Hotline at 810-768-4675 and GCCARD at 810-232-2185.
  1. Call Customer Service first.
    Ask for the current balance, account status and whether any active assistance program may apply.

    Assistance programs can be first come, first served or limited by available funds.

    Ask whether you still need a payment plan, partial payment or confirmation step.

    Save all program documents, receipts, dates, names and confirmation numbers.
Important: Assistance availability can change. Always verify current program status directly with the City or the listed local agency before relying on older announcements.

Flint Water Service Line Replacement Help

Flint is unusual because water billing, water quality and lead service line replacement questions often overlap. The City says service line replacement is done at no cost to residents when qualifying service line materials are found, and an active water account is required for the replacement program.

Request service line replacement Use the City’s official request page if your property still needs service line inspection or replacement. Request replacement
Get the Lead Out Use the official Get The Lead Out page for consent forms and appointment guidance. Open Get The Lead Out
Appointment help The City’s Get The Lead Out page lists 810-410-1133 for setting up an appointment. Call 810-410-1133
Helpful note: Service line replacement is not a water bill payment. If your bill is past due, still call Customer Service. If your pipe status is the issue, use the service line replacement resources.

Flint Water Quality Reports, Lead Information and Safe Habits

Because Flint water quality remains a high-trust topic, always use official City and State sources instead of random social posts or outdated summaries. The City publishes annual water quality reports, and the State of Michigan maintains a Flint water information page.

City progress report Use the City’s Progress Report on Flint Water for official project and replacement updates. Open progress report
Annual water quality report Use the City water quality report resources for drinking water testing information. Open 2024 report
State Flint water page Use Michigan’s Flint Water page for state-level updates and lead monitoring information. Open Michigan page
Lead safety reminder: If your home has a lead, galvanized or unknown service line, follow official flushing, filter and testing guidance from the City, State and water quality reports.

High Flint Water Bill Checklist Before You Pay Twice or Dispute

A high Flint water and sewer bill can come from real usage, a missed payment, a shut-off notice amount, a leak, billing-cycle timing, restored service charges or a payment that has not posted. Separate the problem before paying twice.

Payment posting Check whether your last online or phone payment posted to the correct account.
Shut-off notice balance Call Customer Service for the correct amount if a shut-off notice is involved.
Running toilet A toilet leak can raise usage quietly. Try a dye test before calling.
Hidden leak Check water heater area, basement, crawlspace, outside spigots and soft ground.
Service restoration Restoration or past-due handling may affect the total amount needed.
Old assistance status Do not rely on expired assistance announcements. Verify whether the program is still open.
