Water shut-offs occur for default accounts of $75 or more.
There is a $75 re-connection fee.

Checking for water leaks:

Turn off all sources of water (faucet, hose, dishwasher, washing machine, ice maker, etc.)

Then check the red triangle dial on your water meter. If all sources of water have been securely turned off and it is still moving, you have a leak somewhere. It may be necessary to call a plumber to locate the leak.

"Running" or "Leaking" toilets are the number one cause for high water bills. To test your toilet, turn the water supply line to the toilet tank off. Check your water meter to see if the triangle dial is spinning. If the dial stopped spinning, you found your problem. If the dial is still spinning, proceed to the next toilet. If all your toilets pass the test, check outside water spigots or signs of indoor leakage. If you are unable to find a leakage, call us to schedule an appointment to have your water meter inspected.
