My bill is really high this month. Is it possible I have a leak?
Yes, it is quite possible.
Fixing a leak can be quick and easy, and often doesn’t cost much. The water that is wasted can quickly add up to an expensive water bill.
If you find and fix a leak, you may be eligible for a leak adjustment to your bill. You must be able to provide proof the leak was repaired.
Call or email Customer Service your leak adjustment form to see if you qualify for an adjustment.
I made a payment. When will my services be reconnected?
If your services were disconnected for non-payment and you have made your payment in full your services will be reconnected as soon as possible after your payment was received.
If your payment was made during normal business hours (weekdays before 5:00 pm), services are generally reconnected the same day. If your payment was made after 5:00 pm on a weekday, Saturday, Sunday or a holiday, services are generally reconnected during the next business day.
What time will the services be turned on at my new residence?

What is the billing cycle and how long do I have to pay my bill?

You will be required to pay your FULL account balance prior to reconnection of services.

When full payment is received by the City of Conway, a work order is generated and a technician is dispatched to reinstate the utility services as quickly as possible.
Ensure that all faucets are turned off prior to service reconnection to prevent accidental flooding.
Do I need to stop my utilities account when I move away?
Yes. If you are planning to move, remember to stop your City of Conway utility account. Submit the Termination Request Form ,
You will need to provide the date you want your services stopped and your new mailing address. This will ensure that your final bill is processed correctly and that your account will be closed.
If Utility Billing is not notified, you could be responsible for paying the utility bills at your old address until a new account is initiated by a new resident or owner.
Why am I being charged a late fee and how is it calculated?
A 5% penalty will be added to any current bill not paid by the 15th of the month.
A $25 service charge will be added to any bill that remains unpaid by the 15th of the following month and shall be disconnected without notice.
To avoid late fees and service disruptions, be sure to pay the total amount due on or before the due date.
What happens if my payment is returned by the bank?
The payment will be reversed off of your account, and a $30 insufficient funds (NSF) charge will be added to your account.
Multiple returned payments will result in payment restrictions that require future payments to be made by other secured methods such as credit card, certified check, money order, or cash.
If the returned payment was made to restore disconnected services, upon notification from the bank, the City of Conway will disconnect your services immediately.
Can I get an adjustment to my water bill if I had a leak on my property?
