Gwinnett Water Bill Help Center for Payments, New Account Numbers, Leaks & Past-Due Service

This page helps Gwinnett County water customers pay a bill, use QuickPay, register with the new account number, start or stop service, check a high bill, request a leak adjustment, find payment assistance, and report a water outage.

The guide is built around real customer problems: login confusion, Western Union posting delays, same-day reconnect questions, meter leaks, high consumption, scams, and what to do before a bill becomes a disconnection issue.

Fast answer: Gwinnett County water customers can pay online through the Water Resources customer portal, make a QuickPay payment with the new account number, pay by automated phone at 678.376.6800, mail payment to Gwinnett Water Resources, P.O. Box 105023, Atlanta, GA 30348-5023, pay at Western Union Quick Collect locations, or pay in person/drive-thru at 684 Winder Highway NE, Lawrenceville, GA 30045.

Do this first: confirm you are on the official Gwinnett payment path. Gwinnett warns that Gwinnetth2o.com is the correct shortcut, while a look-alike domain using a zero instead of the letter “o” is not affiliated with Water Resources.
