Daytona Beach Utility Bill Pay, Account Help & Shutoff Prevention
This guide is for Daytona Beach customers who need to pay a water bill, avoid a late fee, stop a scheduled disconnect, restore service, open a new account, request a payment plan, or report a water emergency.
Every section gives the official action link or phone number beside the step, so you can finish the task without reading long paragraphs or searching through multiple city pages.
Fast answer: Pay or view a Daytona Beach utility bill through the official Customer Connect portal. For billing help, call 386-671-8100 or visit Utility Billing at 301 S.
