If the leak is at the meter or in the road and Bartow County Water sends your bill, call 770-387-5170. After business hours, that call is forwarded to Bartow County Dispatch and on-call crews.
- Make it safe and document it. Cut power to wet rooms from a dry spot, photograph the damage, then report the claim.
- Start drying within 24 to 48 hours. Crawlspaces, basements, and slab homes with carpet hold moisture longer than they look.
