Great people working with outdated/inefficient systems. We've had water cut off twice due to system errors and bugs in account transfer. Always call in and calmly explain your issue and they'll help you get to the bottom of it. I don't know if the water Dept is running on SAP too but whoever powers ...

I like having water, so that's worth a star. The customer service was terribly unhelpful. After receiving payment for water to be turned on, our service was turned off. I rushed from work to meet with the technician who would turn it on between sometime and another time (no stated range of arrival t...

How can I have 21,000 gallons of water usage if I do not have water sevice? They keep telling me that maybe I have a leak but again how can I have a...

When I signed up for new service in the spring Dallas Water Utilities employee attached a billing address from a old utility account at an address from 15 years previous. My bills were sent to a wrong address for 3 months, then I got disconnected for "non-payment". Luckily I caught it immediately a...

Customer service representatives are always incredibly UNHELPFUL. Service techs do not call ahead, and thus the utility department expects someone to wait for an entire day. Every time I call on business, I get treated to a five minute recorded spiel about 'listening to all the options', and am near...

Extremely bad customer service, the supervisor Bianca was very rude after I had made an overpayment on my account and did not want to refund my money! Its close to Christmas time I made an honest mistake by paying my light bill fee instead of my water utility bill. They want to keep my overpayment a...

They are terrible and unprofessional. Always answering with attitudes or don't bother answering at all. People don't have time to take off to go in person just to not get help. They really need to train better and monitor their calls. I am going to figure out who I can escalate this issue to because...

Tree roots blocked my line to both my toilets (right in the middle of prepping for a colonoscopy!) and I called the city (after hours) and Chuck and his crew were out within 45 minutes and solved the problem, much to my relief. They were awesome!

I was outside my house a few days ago, and a Dallas utilities pick up truck passed by three times. It made me suspicious and when I checked the plates they were Oklahoma plates. Is that acceptable? This is besides the fact that they shut my water off for no reason. I was showering when the guy turne...

Worst phone customer service ever! You can't talk to anyone because it keeps hanging up on you! 3 days in a row and I have called multiple times at different times of day and it's the same thing over and over. And BTW, no I don't want to take your stupid service survey!

Very good service when I call them about a problem. Had a meter that I couldn t turn off, because it was so old. Guy from DWU came out on Sun. evening and turned it off. He said I should get a new meter in case this ever happens again. Got a new meter the next week.

The call center reps are a mixed bag; some are awesome, and some are completely awful! There is, however, one particular woman who works in the Credit Services Department who is absolutely amazing! Her name is Schendi, and at 4:39 on a Friday afternoon, after all her co workers had left for the we...

In comparison to Grande Prairie, Dallas County is not that thorough because I was told on the phone they only go to the meter to test water pressure. " Dallas technicians don't test on the side of the house" and not test from the outside facuet. Grande prairie will actually go to the house test the ...

The city of Dallas is approximately as efficient as a Soviet era bread line, and about as amicable and helpful as a doll with a pullstring on its back, repeating the same useless information over and over.
Long story short, they cut my water two weeks after moving into my new home (despite the fact...

Terrible service.. Constantly having to call with issues with the epay system. So far I've been charged $30 fees a total of three times in less than a year for mistakes they have made, and yet they won't take the fee away. I guess this is what happens when you have no other options for water service...

ABSOULUTE NIGHTMARE!!! The answering service hangs up on you before you can get to the option you need! ALSO, they have turned off my water multiple times even with current up to date payments! This is the worst business model I have ever experienced.

Can't get through to speak to someone....always a busy signal. One time I did get through, I was on hold for a L O N G time. They offer a service to leave a message and they will call you back within 24 hours. Now 72 hours later and still no return call. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!
