Weather preparedness noticeLocal Baton Rouge Water Tips Users Actually Need
Do not confuse water vs sewer
Many Baton Rouge customers see sewer/garbage on the same bill. If your question is about sewer user fees or solid waste charges, call 225-389-5378, not just BR Water billing.
Personal bank bill-pay can be slow
City-Parish warns personal bank bill-pay services are not always electronic and may take several days to be received and posted. Use official Speedpay or call if timing is tight.
Automatic draft starts later
Faxing or mailing the form does not mean draft starts today. Wait until your bill says the account is scheduled to be drafted.
Hurricane/freeze habit
Know your home’s cut-off valve location before storm season or hard freezes. If pipes burst, shutting water off fast can prevent a huge bill and damage.
