High Baltimore Water Bill, Usage History and Leak Review
Baltimoreโs DPW customer self-service portal can help customers monitor water consumption, billing history and payment history. It can also support unusual-use alerts when customers sign up for available portal features.
If your bill looks unusually high, compare current consumption with earlier bills before paying blindly. A sudden jump may come from running toilets, leaking faucets, underground leaks, irrigation use, estimated billing adjustments, longer billing period or an account issue.
Before calling about a high water bill
- Check billing history and consumption history in the DPW portal.
- Compare current usage with the previous few months.
- Check toilets for silent running.
- Check faucets, hose bibs, irrigation and basement/crawlspace leaks.
- Look for wet ground or a constantly moving meter indicator.
- Call billing support if the usage still does not make sense.
Baltimore Water Service Issues, Leaks, No Water and 311
For urgent water service problems, leaks, no water, sewer complaints or other city service issues, use Baltimore Cityโs official service request route or call 311. For billing questions, use the water billing support route instead.
Do not use a bill-payment portal to report an active leak or public water emergency. Payment portals handle accounts and payments; service issues need a city service request or direct DPW support route.
Use Baltimore 311 for water service issues, leaks, no water or city service complaints.
410-396-5398
Use for bill questions, not active field emergencies.
200 Holliday Street
Baltimore, MD 21202
For immediate danger, injury, fire or life-safety emergency, call 911 first.
What to report for a water service issue
- Exact address or nearest intersection.
- Whether the issue is no water, leak, water main break, sewer backup, low pressure or flooding.
- Whether water is affecting a street, home, business or sidewalk.
- Whether nearby properties are affected.
- Your name and callback number.
- Any public safety or traffic concern.
