Welcome! We are here to help.
Welcome to the City of Gulfport Water and Utility Billing Department! The billing department accepts payments online (see Pay Online above), by EFT-Auto Debit (see Request E-Billing above), by phone, or in the office with cash, check, or credit card. (Credit cards require an additional fee). We also take payments by mail. However, mailing your payments may be delayed in processing due to the volume of incoming mail for the department. The water department isn’t responsible for the delay in the processing of your payment. The mail is sent to a lock-box processing center. We also have an overnight drop box at both locations. You may drop your payment by check or money order along with your payment coupon/stub only.
Additionally, customers are welcome to come in, call, or email any issues or concerns regarding their utility bills. Leak adjustments, pool adjustments, and setting up new services may be brought in person, emailed, or mailed to the department. All TAP fees for new construction are taken in either office.
All services are billed monthly and become delinquent 30 days after the due date. Additional charges may be assessed for late payment and disconnection of service. An 11% late fee is assessed on unpaid balances not received by the due date printed on the bill.
If you have questions or concerns about water quality or sewage issues, please contact PUBLIC WORKS at 228-868-5740.
