How could I have used this much water?

The first step is to check your meter reading for accuracy. The latest reading is provided on your bill. If your reading is correct you could possibly have a leaky toilet or faucet that's difficult to detect.  Also, try walking your water line to detect any signs of a leak. If the water operator has to be called to your residence to re-read your meter and the reading is correct you will be charged for $25.00 service call.

If you read your meter and the reading is incorrect contact the office immediately to have the operator correct the reading.

We work diligently to ensure all readings are correct but we are not perfect, mistakes can be made. With help from you to bring our attention to the matter, it can and will be resolved quickly.  We appreciate your help!

My water tastes, looks, and smells funny. Is it safe to drink?

All public water systems are required to maintain a minimum chlorine level of 0.2 mg/L (tested at the end of each line) by state law. Systems that use chloramine as a disinfectant must maintain a level of 0.5 mg/L by state law. Our disinfectant levels are tested daily to ensure safety.

Why does debris come out of the faucet when running hot water?
