Garden Grove water and trash use separate service contacts
Garden Grove keeps water service with the city. Trash service uses a separate contact. Water Billing handles billing questions and water start-stop service. The water pages also list payment links, business hours, and details new customers may need.
Trash service points to Republic Services. That is the contact for refuse disposal and trash account needs. Water account setup stays with Garden Grove Water Billing.
For a move, split the checklist into two pieces. Set up or close water service through the city. Then handle trash through Republic Services. That small split can save back-and-forth when a renter, owner, or property manager is lining up service dates.
