New Service Requirements, Deposit and Turn-On Warnings
| Item | Official detail to know | Helpful action |
|---|---|---|

Paperless Billing and Online Account Responsibilities
Who can enroll
BGJWSC says you must be listed as a primary or secondary responsible party on the account to complete paperless billing.
When it starts
The paperless terms say customers can expect the monthly statement by email within 30 days after enrollment.
Your responsibility
If the email fails or your address changes, you are still responsible for checking the website or contacting BGJWSC and paying by the due date.
Use MyUsage to Catch Leaks and Avoid Bill Surprises
Why it matters: BGJWSC’s Consumer Water Portal lets customers view water usage data at any time, from any device with internet access. It also supports out-of-town alerts and threshold alerts by text or email.
View flow data
Use MyUsage to look for sudden daily usage spikes, continuous overnight usage or flow when the home should be quiet.
Set alerts
Out-of-town and threshold alerts can help find possible plumbing issues before the next bill arrives.
Verify carefully
When registering, enter the account holder name and street address exactly as shown on the bill.
Leak Adjustment: What BGJWSC Wants Before Review
Documents to attach
- Repair receipt or plumber bill.
- Letter from the repair company/person.
- If self-repaired, a written statement explaining what, when and where repairs were made.
- Account number, service address and contact details.
Timing and balance rule
- BGJWSC staff must confirm usage is back to normal before approval.
- Adjustment processing can take 30 to 90 days.
- During review, customers must keep the overall balance below $100 each month or visit the office to set up a payment plan.
- If recurring payment is active, consider removing it until after the adjustment to avoid a surprise full payment.
Provider Check: Brunswick GA vs Other Brunswick Water Bills
| What you may be searching | Correct action | Why this matters |
|---|---|---|
| Brunswick, GA water / sewer bill | Use BGJWSC or the City of Brunswick page that routes water/sewer bills to BGJWSC. | This article is for Brunswick, Georgia / Glynn County service. |
| Brunswick County, NC utility bill | Use Brunswick County, North Carolina utility billing, not BGJWSC. | Phone numbers, portals and addresses are different. |
| Brunswick, Maine or New Brunswick, New Jersey | Use the local water/sewer department shown on that bill. | Do not pay a Georgia portal if your bill is from another state. |
| City of Brunswick taxes, permits or sanitation | Use the City of Brunswick Payments & Services page. | City payments are separate from BGJWSC water/sewer billing. |
Local Brunswick-Glynn Tips That Save Time
Use walk-in for restoration, not convenience
The Gloucester Street office is the safest path when service is disconnected or urgent. For normal bills, online payment is easier.
Coastal homes need flow alerts
Vacant, rental, second-home and island-area properties should use MyUsage alerts to catch continuous flow while nobody is watching the property.
Do not put cash in the drop box
The drop box is useful for routine non-cash payments, but it is not a same-day proof option.
Moving day rule
Submit service requests before moving day. If the form is submitted after noon, same-day service may not be guaranteed.
BGJWSC Office Map and Visit Planning
Use the map for general location planning. Confirm current hours before visiting, especially near holidays or public office closures.
Main office
1703 Gloucester Street, Brunswick, GA 31520.
Office hours
Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.
