  • Adjustments:  Billing adjustments due to leaks can be considered once a request has been made using the LEAK ADJUSTMENT FORM, which can be printed from the FORMS & REPORTS tab.  (Please review the Adjustment Guide for important information.)  Appropriate receipts, such as materials and/or plumbing fees, are required.  The water company does not make adjustments for the following:
    • Where the leak could have been avoided (such as proper weathering or outside usage)
    • Where the usage continues for an extended period of time. 
    • For lines that supply docks, irrigations, or pools/hot tubs

If approved, the company will adjust 50% of the excess billing over the average when that adjustment will exceed $40.  One adjustment is allowed in a 12-month period.
