Community Water Offices are Closed to the Public

Beginning March 30th, Community Water System will close its facility to the general public until further notice.  Due to the local spread of COVID19/Corona virus in the Greers Ferry area, it is necessary to implement an additional measure of protection for our Employees.  It is critical that we protect our staff so we can continue to provide safe and reliable drinking water to all our water users, especially during this troubling time.

Our office will continue to take calls regarding billing and any other water service-related issues.  We do ask for your patience during this time as we are operating in emergency mode and provide essential services only.  Any non-emergency requests for service are being postponed at this time.

Payments can still be taken through the following processes:

1. Mail service
2. Toll free 24-hour automated phone system: 844-203-6549
3. Downloading our Smarthub app on a smartphone or smart device.
4. Community Water’s website: www.cwswater.org
5. The after-hours drop box outside our office gate system
6. Calling our offices at 800-234-2971 or 501-825-7294

Again, please be patient with our systems during this time of crisis.
