Water Quality

Is our tap water safe?

Yes. Newnan Utilities’ water exceeds all state and federal safety standards, including those set by the EPA. We conduct regular testing to ensure it remains safe, clean, and reliable. View our latest Water Quality Report. 

Service & Disruptions

How do I report an outage or issue?

Call 770-683-5516 and press 2 to report outages or service issues. You can also view real-time updates on our online outage map.

Why is my water pressure low or discolored?

This is usually due to routine hydrant flushing, which helps maintain water quality by clearing out sediment in the lines.

How will I be notified of outages or planned maintenance?

We post updates on the scrolling banner of our homepage, but the most up-to-date information is shared on our Facebook and X pages.

Will I be notified when service is restored?

Yes—our AMI system can send automated alerts. Make sure your contact info is current in your online account to receive outage and restoration updates.

You can also check our outage map or follow us on Facebook and X for real-time info.

High Bills & Leaks

Why is my electric bill higher than usual?

Common reasons include:
– Extreme weather and increased HVAC use
– Older or inefficient appliances
– Drafty windows or poor insulation
– Extended use of water heaters, pool pumps, or space heaters

Check your online account for usage history and visit our Energy Saving Tips page for ways to reduce your energy use.

Why is my water bill unusually high?

Check for:
– Leaking toilets or faucets
– Irrigation system leaks
– Underground leaks
If you discover a leak, you may be eligible for a leak adjustment. Contact our office or complete the Leak Adjustment Request Form.

How can I check for a water leak at home?

  • Turn off all water inside and outside your home.
  • Check your water meter — if the dial is moving, you may have a leak.
  • Test toilets by adding food coloring or dye tabs to the tank. If color appears in the bowl without flushing, there’s a silent leak.

Account Management & Service Changes

How do I start, stop, or transfer service?

To start, stop, or transfer service, click the Start/Stop Service button on our homepage or My Account.

What documents do I need to start or stop service?

You’ll need:

  • A valid photo ID
  • Lease agreement (renters) or closing disclosure (owners) — must include the service address and all signatures
  • Your Newnan Utilities account number (if available)

Documents can be uploaded through the Start/Stop Service forms on our website.

How much notice is needed to start or stop service?

We recommend submitting your request at least 1–2 business days in advance. Same-day service is not guaranteed.

How do I sign up for paperless billing or auto-pay?

Once you receive your first statement and set up your online account, you can manage billing preferences—like paperless billing, auto-pay, and text reminders—through the online customer portal.
