WaterSmart

Forsyth County WaterSmart Portal for Usage, Leak Alerts and Bill Awareness

Forsyth County offers WaterSmart as a free online portal to help customers manage water usage, get leak alerts and potentially avoid water damage or unexpected charges.

WaterSmart is especially useful if your bill suddenly increases, if you want to monitor usage after a repair, or if you want to catch leaks before they run through an entire billing cycle.

1

Open the official WaterSmart page

Use the official Forsyth County WaterSmart page.

2

Register or sign in

Use your water account information to set up access if registration is required.

3

Review usage patterns

Compare normal usage with high-use days. Look for continuous overnight usage, which can signal a leak.

4

Turn on alerts

Use leak and usage alerts if available so you receive warning before a small leak becomes expensive.

5

Keep repair notes

If WaterSmart helps you find a leak, keep repair dates, plumber receipts and screenshots of unusual usage.

WaterSmart tip: A toilet flapper leak can waste water quietly for days. If WaterSmart shows continuous use when no one is using water, check toilets first.
Service changes

Request New Water Service or Cancel Forsyth County Water Service

If you are moving into or out of Forsyth County service territory, use the official Request New Water Service / Cancel Service page.

Submit service requests early. If you wait until the move date, delays can create billing confusion between tenant, owner, buyer, seller or property manager.

Before requesting or canceling service

  • Keep the service address ready.
  • Know the requested start or cancellation date.
  • Have your contact information and mailing address ready.
  • Ask about deposits, identity requirements or final bill steps.
  • Save confirmation of any online form or service request.
  • Call 770-781-2160 if your move timing is urgent.
Reconnect warning

Disconnected Water Service and Reconnect Rules in Forsyth County

Forsyth County clearly states that if your water service has been disconnected for non-payment, you should contact the office at 770-781-2160 during normal business hours: 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday.

The county also states that paying online will not automatically restore water service. You must contact the business office during normal business hours or visit the office to have a reconnect service order issued.

If service was disconnected for non-payment

  • Do not assume online payment automatically restores service.
  • Save your payment confirmation number.
  • Call the business office at 770-781-2160 during normal hours.
  • Ask if any reconnect fee, order or additional step is required.
  • Confirm when the reconnect service order will be issued.
  • Do not wait until after-hours because the answering service cannot assist disconnected-service customers.
Very important: If reconnection is urgent, handle it before 5:00 PM on a business day. After-hours operators are not able to restore service that was disconnected for non-payment.
After-hours and emergency

Forsyth County Water and Sewer After-Hours Emergency Contact

For water or sewer problems after normal business hours, on weekends or on holidays, Forsyth County directs customers to call 770-781-2160. Operators from an answering service can receive emergency calls and dispatch service personnel when appropriate.

This after-hours route is for active water or sewer issues, not account reconnection after non-payment. For disconnected service due to non-payment, contact the business office during normal business hours.

What to report for a water or sewer emergency

  • Exact address or closest intersection.
  • Whether the issue is water leak, sewer backup, no water, low pressure or other problem.
  • Whether water or sewage is affecting a road, home, business or yard.
  • When the issue started.
  • Whether nearby properties are affected.
  • Your name and callback number.
Emergency note: For immediate danger, injury, electrical hazard, fire, traffic hazard or life-safety emergency, call 911 first.
Rates

Forsyth County Water and Sewer Rates

The official Forsyth County Water and Sewer Rates page provides current rate information and downloadable rate documents, including 2026 water and sewer rate information.

Forsyth County also explains conservation-oriented tiered water rates. These tiered rates are designed to encourage efficient water use by increasing price signals as customer water usage increases.

How to review your bill and rates

  • Check whether your account is residential or non-residential.
  • Review the meter size and billing period.
  • Compare current usage with previous bills.
  • Check whether high usage pushed the bill into a higher tier.
  • Use WaterSmart to investigate unusual usage.
  • Call Water & Sewer if the bill still does not make sense.
High bill help

High Forsyth County Water Bill, Leak Alerts and Usage Review

A sudden high water bill can happen because of running toilets, irrigation leaks, outdoor hose bibs, pool filling, water softeners, private-side leaks or a higher usage tier.

WaterSmart can help customers see usage patterns and detect possible leaks. If your usage is continuous overnight or remains high when no one is using water, start with toilet flappers, irrigation valves and outside spigots.

Before calling about a high bill

  • Check WaterSmart usage history if available.
  • Compare current usage with past months.
  • Check toilets for silent running.
  • Check irrigation zones, hose bibs and outdoor leaks.
  • Look for wet ground, green patches or water near the meter area.
  • Keep repair receipts and dates if a leak is fixed.
Insider-style tip: If you find a leak, take screenshots of WaterSmart usage before and after the repair. That gives you a clear record when discussing the bill with customer service.
