Plumbing Repair Reduction
Customers may be eligible for a bill reduction when plumbing problems occur on the property. Before an account can be reviewed for an adjustment, proof of repairs is required.
Rules:
- Customers will need to submit the following:
- Copies of the repair bill or a written statement reflecting the item repaired and the date repairs were completed.
- Copies of receipts reflecting the purchase of parts or supplies needed to make repairs.
- After repairs have been completed, the water usage at the location must return to normal before a credit can be applied to the account.
- No more than 3 months are adjusted for any plumbing problem event.
- Only 1 adjustment is allowed per 12 month period.

Courtesy Reduction
Customers may be eligible for a one month reduction of water and sewer charges by 50% after a high use bill. Courtesy reductions are used if a customer cannot identify the cause of an unexpected high use or if the cause was not from a leak that has since been repaired.
