There are many factors that can affect your water use such as time of year, house guests, etc. However, water leaks can often be a culprit with even the smallest of leaks using hundreds of gallons of water. It’s important to check for leaks often and fix them immediately.

Yes. To qualify for a leak adjustment, your water usage must be double the amount you normally use. To determine your adjusted amount, we subtract 50% of the excessive usage (the amount above the average bill). We also adjust any penalties related to the leak bill. We will adjust for a maximum of 3months usage. You will be responsible for completing a Leak Adjustment Form and providing documentation that the leak has been repaired. This documentation may include a copy of your plumber’s invoice or a receipt from the purchase of leak repair supplies.

You may have overlooked your previous month’s bill, not paid the full amount (including penalty), or your payment may not have reached us in time to be reflected on your new statement. Call our office or visit “My Account” online for more information.

A question we hear from homeowners from time to time is “what size is my meter?” Almost all of our residential meters (those installed in single family residences) are 5/8-inch by ¾-inch. Residential irrigation meters are generally 1-inch in size. However, if you’re curious to know what size your meter is, you can do a couple of things:

1. Check your meter. Many meters have the size engraved or printed on the face or body.
2. Call us. If you don’t see the size displayed on your meter, call our Customer Care Team at 615-672-4110, or contact us here.  This information is kept on file for all customers and can be easily accessed.
