Provider warning: Water Utility Management is not the same as the City of Savannah Utility Services Division. If your bill says City of Savannah, use the city utility portal and city phone numbers. If your bill says Water Utility Management or WaterGA, use WUM’s customer portal, 912-352-9339, 28 Abercorn Street, and P.O. Box 1526.
First Check: WUM or City of Savannah?
Savannah-area customers can be served by different providers depending on address, subdivision, city limits, private/community wells, sewer setup, HOA status, and whether the bill comes from WUM or the City of Savannah.
Your bill says WUM
Use Water Utility Management’s portal, office, phone, mail address, policies, and service-area map.
Your bill says City of Savannah
Use City of Savannah Utility Services, not Water Utility Management. City utility billing uses different account/barcode rules and city customer-service contacts.
Not sure?
Use WUM’s interactive map, check your bill, search your closing/lease documents, and call WUM before paying.
