With over 500 miles each of water and wastewater pipelines, three water treatment plants and a wastewater treatment facility, the Utility Department provides service to the residents and businesses of Palm Coast as well as to various territories outside the city limits. The Utility Department is responsible for providing high quality, safe drinking water and environmentally responsible wastewater service to the community.
The department operates a call center during normal business hours and on-call technicians are available 24 hours a day through an answering service. Our staff of highly trained individuals are equipped to provide the best utility service available.

Q: How do I go about applying for a new Utility Account?
Q: My water bill is showing high water consumption. What should I do?
A: If your water bill is showing unusually high consumption, you may want to check for a leak. A leaky toilet, faucet, or underground pipe can cause drastic changes in your water bill. First start by checking for leaks around the house (toilets, sinks, outside spigots, etc.). If no leaks are noticed around the house you may want to check to an underground pipe leak. Here's how to check for an underground pipe leak:
First, make sure ALL water on your house is off. Make sure that your hot water heater isn't filling up, the washing machine and dishwasher are both off, outside spigots are off, etc. All water needs to be off. Once you have made sure there is no water running at your residence, locate your water meter. Your water meter is equipped with a small triangular dial (usually red) that shows when water is being used. If all the water at your residence is turned off, and that small triangular dial is spinning, it is an indicator that you may have a leak. In that situation you may want to contact a plumber or the Utility Department to get assistance from a trained technician.
If the dial is not spinning and you don't suspect a leak there may be other reasons why your water bill is unusually high. Guests staying at your house can cause your water usage to rise as well as activities such as filling a pool or kids playing outside in the water. People have also had water stolen from them through the outside spigots of their home. If you suspect that someone has been stealing water from you, you can purchase a spigot lock from a local hardware retailer.
Q: I need the change the mailing address for my account. How do I do that?
A: You can do that by contacting the Utility Customer Service Office at (386) 986-2360, or by submitting your request using the
Citizens Issue Tracking System. You can also submit a change of address by writing the new address on your Utility bill and submitting it with your payment.
Q: There are discrepancies on my bill. Who should I contact?
Q: The amount that I owe shown online and on the bill mailed to my house are different. Why did this happen and what should I do?
A: It is possible that activity has transpired on your account since your bill was mailed out, causing the difference in the balance due amount shown online verses the amount shown on your printed bill. A payment being processed or new charges being added to your account after your bill has been printed would cause a difference between the online balance and the printed balance.
Checks can take up to ten (10) days to process. If after ten days your check payment is not credited to your account you may want to inquire with your bank regarding the check.
If you still have questions regarding your bill you can contact the Utility Customer Service Office at (386) 986-2360, or by using the Citizens Issue Tracking System.
Q: I haven't received a bill in several months. What should I do?
Q: My garbage has not been picked up. Who do I contact?
A: Although garbage is listed on your Utility bill, questions in reference to garbage pick-up should be directed to the Public Works department by phone at (386) 986-2335, or by the
Citizens Issue Tracking System. You can also
click here to find out when garbage is picked up in your area.
Q: I have a question regarding stormwater. Who should I contact?
A: Questions involving Stormwater should be directed to the Stormwater Department at (386) 986-4760. You may also want to read the
Swale FAQs. Issues can also be submitted via the
Citizen Issue Tracking System.
Q: My PEP tank light is red on the side of my house, who do I call?
A: That is the light indicating that there is a problem with your PEP tank which is part of the City of Palm Coast's sewer system. If you see that light on you need to call the Utility Customer Service Department at (386) 986-2360.
Q: I am a builder and need to request a PEP Tank installation. How do I do that?
