Water Rates & Fees

All FCWS water meters are read monthly. Customers receive a monthly water bill based upon these readings. Questions? Call 770-461-1146, Monday – Friday, 8:00am – 5:00pm.

Fayette County is one of 16 counties that is part of the Metro North Georgia Water Planning District and must comply with the District’s Water Resource Management Plan. The plan requires FCWS to develop an irrigation pricing schedule that recognizes the impact on peak demand from irrigation.
