City of Gulfport UTILITY CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE
Since many utility customers may be facing unusual financial hardships as a result of COVID-19, the City of Gulfport is suspending disconnections to utility accounts due to non-payment effective immediately. Customers should pay what they can to avoid building up a large balance that will be harder to pay off later. Credit card/electronic payment processing fees have been waived to promote remote payment and reduce City Hall traffic. Customer service representatives can assist with nearly all utility related functions via telephone Monday through Friday 8am – 4:30pm by calling (727) 893-1016.
