  Water Leak Adjustment to Bill

• The City offers leak adjustments to customers under certain circumstances to encourage repair of the leak and to limit the amount of wasted water. A customer may receive 1 leak adjustment during a 12-month period. When requested by the customer, the Utility Department will adjust a water bill upon presentation of a paid plumber's statement/receipt that indicates:
• The leak has been repaired
• The type of repairs made
• The water leak was not reasonably detectable from the surface (The Customer Service Representative may request additional information before determining if a water leak was reasonably detectable based upon the facts presented.)

You will be notified on the outcome of the approval. If the request for adjustment is approved, the utility department will notify you of the new amount due.
