During the COVID-19 pandemic, Florida initiated the COVID-19 emergency declaration, which suspended disconnections and late fees. The suspension on disconnections is now expired.

Disconnection for nonpayment of the City of Daytona Beach utilities will begin again. To avoid future disconnection or late fees, call (386) 671-8100 to make payment arrangements.
