USE YOUR WATER METER AS A LEAK DETECTOR
Most of our meters are located in a rectangular concrete meter
box at the curb or sidewalk in front of a customer's home or business.
To use your water meter as a leak detector, just follow these
steps:
-
Insure no water is running either inside or outside of your
home.
-
Lift the lid off of the meter box (a screwdriver inserted into
the small square hole in the meter box lid will work as a "handle").
-
Once the meter box lid has been removed, lift the round cap up
from the face of the meter.
-
If it is slowly
spinning and you know there is no water running in your home or outside, you
may have a leak on your property.
If you do suspect you have a leak, speedy repairs will save both
money and water.
CONSUMPTION CHARGE
The amount of water used each month billed at an established
rate per 100 cubic feet (100 cubic feet = 748 gallons of water).
WATER/SEWER SERVICE CHARGES
WATER SERVICE CHARGES are based on the size of a customer's
water meter. SEWER SERVICE CHARGES are based on a flat rate. Additional charges
based on water consumption may also be included depending upon type of use.
Both of these charges are applied to open accounts whether water is used or
not.
BACKFLOW CHARGES
A monthly charge, based on the size of each device, for testing
and any necessary minor repairs.
