Yes, water meter readings may be estimated if the meter stops registering usage or if the meter is inaccessible, such as when a vehicle is parked over the meter; broken glass; condensation; or during times of flooding/ storm situations. On these occasions, the billing software estimates usage. NOTE: The property owner is responsible for providing clear access to the meter.
If a high water bill is received, verify the reading on the meter to the reading on the bill. If the reading on the water meter is lower than the current reading on the utility bill, the meter may have been misread, contact Utility Billing to have the bill corrected. The meter can also be used to determine if there is a leak. Click here for more information regarding leak detection.
If the property is vacant or the hose spigot is accessible, theft may be occurring. The City recommends purchasing locks for all hose spigots to prevent possible theft of water. Locks can be purchased at any hardware store. If the property will be vacant for a long period of time, request a temporary disconnection of service at the meter. This will ensure no water usage. There is a $10 service charge and the request must be made in writing. The monthly basic availability charge for all services still applies.
