Any person supplying another with water in violation of Title 5 of the Augusta-Richmond County Code shall have his water turned off and will be subject to other penalties as outlined in this policy and under Title 5.

  • Return a completed and signed Water Turn-On form to Customer Service by 2 pm.
Augusta Utilities will retain a copy of the picture identification along with the application.
