Pay a Gwinnett Water Bill, Find Your New Account Number, or Report a Water Emergency

Gwinnett County water customers now have a newer customer self-service payment website, which means some users need a new account number or activation code before they can manage their account online.

This guide helps you use the official Gwinnett County payment path, avoid the fake lookalike payment website, contact Customer Care, mail payments correctly, request leak adjustment help, and report urgent water or sewer problems to the right number.

Payment safety warning: Gwinnett County warns that gwinnetth20.com, with a zero instead of the letter “o,” is not owned by or affiliated with the Department of Water Resources. Start from the official county website or official payment page before entering payment details.

Choose the Gwinnett Water Task You Need

Gwinnett water searches are often urgent, but not every issue should go through the same path. Paying a normal bill, fixing login trouble, mailing a payment, reporting a sewer backup, and asking for a leak adjustment all need different steps.

How to Pay Your Gwinnett County Water Bill Online

The safest online payment route is the official Gwinnett County Pay Water Bill page. From there, you can log in to your account or make a Quick Payment. If your old login does not work, do not guess repeatedly because the newer payment website may require updated account details.

  1. Open the official Pay Water Bill page.
    Start here: Gwinnett County Pay Water Bill.
  2. Choose account login or Quick Payment.
    Use login if you want to manage your profile. Use Quick Payment if you only need to submit a payment.
  3. Use your current account number.
    If you received a new account number or activation code from Gwinnett County, use that information instead of older saved details.
  4. Review the amount and account.
    Confirm service address, balance, due date, and payment method before submitting.
  5. Save proof.
    Keep your confirmation number, receipt email, or screenshot until the payment posts to your account.
Posting warning: Automated phone payments may take 24 to 48 hours to post, and mail/third-party payments may take longer. If service is at risk, call Customer Care after paying.

New Gwinnett Water Account Number and Activation Code Help

Gwinnett County’s customer FAQ says the newer customer self-service website requires a new account number. The county says this new account number was sent either to the email address on the online profile or in a mailed letter, and the letter contains an activation code for online profile setup.

Best first step: If you cannot find the new account number or activation code, contact Gwinnett Water Resources Customer Care at 678-376-6800 or DWRCare@GwinnettCounty.com.

Check these before calling

  • Look for a mailed letter from Gwinnett County Water Resources.
  • Check the email address connected to your old online water profile.
  • Do not use old bookmarked fake or lookalike payment URLs.
  • Have the service address and account holder name ready.
  • Ask Customer Care whether your account needs reactivation in the new system.

Gwinnett Water Emergency, Leak, Sewer Backup or Water Quality Problem

Billing questions and emergency water problems should not go through the same path. Gwinnett lists a 24/7 emergency line for flooding, water quality concerns and other water-related issues.

24/7 water-related emergency line: Call 678-376-7000 for flooding, water quality concerns, water-related emergencies or other urgent water problems.
  1. Identify the issue clearly.
    Flooding, water main break, sewer backup, water quality concern, low pressure, or unknown water problem.
  2. Call the emergency line if urgent.
    Use 678-376-7000 instead of waiting for normal billing questions to be answered.
  3. Give the exact location.
    Provide address, nearest intersection, landmark, subdivision name, or where the water is visible.
  4. Protect people and property if safe.
    Stay away from sewage, flooded electrical areas, sinkholes, road washouts or unsafe standing water.
  5. Document the problem.
    Take photos or videos only if safe. Keep notes if the issue may affect your bill later.

High Gwinnett Water Bill? Check Leaks Before You Pay Twice

A high Gwinnett water bill can come from irrigation, a running toilet, a hidden pipe leak, a service-line problem, guests, pool filling, or a billing/account transition issue. Before disputing the bill, collect evidence and compare usage.

Toilet leak A running toilet can waste water quietly. Use a dye test or listen for refilling when no one has flushed.
Irrigation use Broken sprinkler heads, stuck zones and landscape watering can cause sudden usage jumps.
Hidden plumbing leak Check crawlspaces, basements, water heater areas, soft ground and service line areas.
Payment confusion If payment was made during a system transition or maintenance period, verify posting before paying twice.
Leak adjustment Gwinnett has an online leak adjustment request form with eligibility requirements.
Repair proof Keep plumber invoices, repair receipts, photos and dates before requesting a review.

What to collect before asking for help

  • Current bill and previous bill.
  • Account number, service address and account holder name.
  • Payment confirmation if you recently paid.
  • Dates when usage changed or a leak was found.
  • Repair invoice, parts receipt, plumber statement or photos.
  • Notes about irrigation, guests, pool filling, outdoor watering or appliance changes.
Leak adjustment note: The official leak adjustment form says qualifying leak gallons must exceed average usage by 100 percent or greater. Read the form instructions carefully before submitting.

Financial Difficulty, WRAP Repairs and Conservation Help

If the bill is high because of plumbing problems, the answer may not only be a payment plan. Gwinnett-related assistance resources include the Water Resources Assistance Program through Gwinnett/Walton Habitat for Humanity, which focuses on plumbing services for eligible homeowners, and regional water-saving rebate programs may also be available.

Call early for bill trouble Contact Customer Care before the due date if you cannot pay in full.
Check WRAP WRAP may help eligible homeowners with plumbing repairs, not just bill payment.
