Due dates and disconnection

Freeport FL Utility Bill Due Date, Late Fee, Disconnect Timing and Reconnection Rules

Billing item	Official policy detail	What to do

High bill and leak adjustment

Freeport FL High Water Bill, Leak Check, Usage Report, Accuracy Test and Leak Adjustment

A high Freeport water bill may come from a private plumbing problem, irrigation issue, running toilet, hose, sprinkler system, broken pipe or meter-side leak. The City policy explains how leak checks and adjustments work.

High-bill item	Official policy detail	Practical action
City leak check	If a customer is concerned about a leak, the City will come out and do a leak check at the meter.	Call Utility Billing and request a leak check before disputing the bill.
Leak result	After technician check, the work order goes to Billing, and Billing calls the customer with results.	Ask for the work order result and keep notes of the call.
Usage report	If no leak is found and customer disagrees, a Usage Report may be requested for $50.	Use this when usage pattern evidence is important.
Accuracy test	If concerned about meter accuracy, an Accuracy Test may be requested for $120.	Ask whether this is worth doing before paying the test fee.
Second check same period	A second leak check within the same billing period may have a $25 service fee.	Check toilets, irrigation and fixtures before requesting repeat visits.
Leak adjustment	If a leak is found at the meter or customer side, adjustment can be half the cost of water and sewer charges on the previous month only, once per year, after proof of repair and usage verification.	Repair first, save receipts for parts/labor/plumber, and submit documentation.

💧

Leak documentation tip: Keep plumber invoice, parts receipts, photos, repair date and meter/check notes. The City requires proof that the leak was fixed before adjustment is made.

Pool and hot tub fills

Pool Fill or Hot Tub Fill Sewer Adjustment in Freeport FL

If you are filling a pool or hot tub, do not wait until after filling to ask for help. Freeport’s policy requires a pre-fill and post-fill meter reading by the City during business hours.

Before filling

Call Utility Billing and request a pre-fill meter reading. This must be done before the pool or hot tub is filled.

After filling

Call Utility Billing again for a post-fill meter reading after the pool or hot tub is filled.

Business hours only

The policy says readings must be done Monday through Thursday when the Water Department is open.

No customer photos

The City policy says customer photos of the meter before and after will not be accepted for the sewer adjustment.

📌

Pool-fill tip: Schedule both meter readings before starting. If you fill on a Friday or weekend without City readings, you may lose the sewer adjustment opportunity.

Common Freeport FL Water Bill Mistakes That Cause Late Fees, Disconnection or Missed Adjustments

Paying after 4:30 PM on disconnect day	Same-day reconnect is only available if payment is made by 4:30 PM on disconnect day.	Pay earlier and confirm with Utility Billing.
Not saving leak repair proof	Leak adjustment requires documentation that repair was completed.	Save receipts, plumber invoice, parts receipts and repair notes.
