Greater Cincinnati Water Works Returns to Practice of Utility Shutoffs

Greater Cincinnati Water Works (GCWW) will be returning to the pre-pandemic practice of water utility shutoffs for delinquent accounts and late fees for past-due balances on April 4, 2022. Help is available to assist customers with outstanding balances as utility shutoffs and late fees return.

PAYMENT ASSISTANCE OPTIONS

Help is available to customers with outstanding balances.
Customers can set up interest-free payment plans through GCWW’s PromisePay portal (GCWW.promise-pay.com), or by calling (513) 586-5917.

Customers may also apply/qualify for pandemic financial relief assistance through the Hamilton County Rent and Utility Program (HCJFS), and/or through the Ohio Relief Program (CAA).
