Who runs the water in Smyrna?

The City of Smyrna does. Unlike Kennesaw, Acworth and Powder Springs, which are on the Cobb County Water System, Smyrna's own Public Works department handles water and sewer inside city limits.

Smyrna borders Marietta to the north and west and sits just northwest of the Atlanta city line, around I-285, Cobb Parkway, Atlanta Road and South Cobb Drive. If your address says Smyrna but you are not sure you are inside city limits, your water bill tells you which utility to call.

Which utility numbers matter in Smyrna?

These are the published numbers for the utilities that serve Smyrna, taken from each utility's own website in October 2026. Check your bill if one has changed.

These numbers reach the utility, not a restoration company. For cleanup and drying inside your home, call (770) 670-4892 and press 1.

What kinds of water damage do Smyrna homes see?

Smyrna has a mix of single-family homes, townhomes and apartments. Burst pipes, water heater and appliance leaks, sewer backups and leaks from the unit above are the usual calls.

• Sewage and toilet backups: report a public sewer problem to the city, and get the inside cleaned by a company equipped for Category 3 water.
• Water heater and appliance leaks: tank water heaters last about 10 to 15 years, per the Department of Energy.
• Burst and frozen pipes: hard freezes are rare here, but when they come, unprotected pipes split.
• Mold after water damage: in a humid Georgia summer, slow leaks turn into mold quickly.

What if the leak came from a neighbor's unit?

Stop what you can on your side, photograph everything, and notify the neighbor and the HOA or landlord in writing right away. Then call your own insurer. Who pays depends on where the leak started and on the HOA documents.

Do not hold off on drying while people sort out who pays. The Georgia Office of Commissioner of Insurance notes that policies might require you to make temporary repairs to protect the property from further damage, and to keep receipts.
