Report a Problem

One most common problem is the toilet. Test it for leaks by putting a few drops of dark food coloring in the tank. After 12 hours without flushing, if there is coloring in the bowl, the seal in your tank is leaking. Make sure the handle mechanism operates smoothly and the chain does not get caught under the flapper.
Check faucet, shower, laundry and water heater connections and the plumbing under the home.
Fill out the complaint form or call the office. When our service employee arrives, make sure no water is in use, the meter will be re-read and checked for signs of leakage in the home. We will notify you with the findings.
