Leak Adjustment Request

Request a Water Bill Adjustment After a Leak Has Been Repaired

The District offers a leak adjustment program to help reduce high water bills caused by unexpected leaks beyond a customer’s knowledge or control. Customers are responsible for promptly repairing any leaks, after which the District may apply water and sewer bill adjustments based on the criteria below.

Program Terms

  • Customers are responsible for the first $25 of leak-related charges.

    Bills are reviewed based on average water use over the past 12 months. Once the leak is repaired, the District may waive water charges up to $1,000 per year.

  • Charges over $1,000 are split 50/50 between the customer and the District.

    Any remaining balance may be paid over up to 12 months.

  • Customers may receive up to two leak adjustments within a 12-month period.

    More than three adjustments at the same address will only be considered in extenuating circumstances and require approval from the District Director.

  • Proof of repair and a completed Leak Adjustment Form are required.

    Requests must be submitted within four months of the leak; late fees and sewer charges are typically waived, but customers remain responsible for routine water line and equipment maintenance.
