Applying Adjustments

A representative will contact you once your submission has been received and deemed eligible for the adjustment program. Upon application acceptance and verification of the previous leak being repaired, the leak adjustment will be applied as a credit to the account.

Accounts receiving leak adjustments are ineligible for another water leak repair bill adjustment for the next 12 months.

Why would I not qualify for a water leak repair bill adjustment?

Your account may not qualify for a water leak repair bill adjustment if during the high water volume period you:

  • Failed to provide documentation that the leak was repaired,
  • Filled a swimming pool,
  • Established a new landscape (new sod, new trees, xeriscaping), or
  • Received a water leak repair bill adjustment in the previous 12 months.
