Water
City of Raleigh to Temporarily Suspend Water Disconnections
In response to the expanding COVID-19 public health emergency, Raleigh Water will suspend all water account disconnects due to non-payment of City of Raleigh utility bills. During this time, we want to ensure all Raleigh Water customers have access to clean drinking water and wastewater services. We will continue to monitor guidance from public health agencies and provide updates on this policy moving forward.
We encourage all customers to avoid paying bills in person and to utilize alternate payment methods, including by mail, our online portal or by calling 919-996-3245.
