Moving Into Kentwood: Water/Sewer Setup and West of Breton Road Note
Kentwood’s water service area can be confusing because the water system is supplied by both the City of Wyoming and the City of Grand Rapids. The City notes that if a property is west of Breton Road, the City of Wyoming supplies the water and Kentwood services the water and sewer.

|---|---|---|
| Moving into Kentwood | Contact the Water & Sewer office at 616-554-0734 or eWater@kentwood.us. | Call before the move date and keep address/closing details ready. |
| Property west of Breton Road | City of Wyoming supplies water; City of Kentwood services water and sewer. | Ask Kentwood which account/service steps apply to your address. |
| Unsure who supplies water | Kentwood system is supplied by Wyoming and Grand Rapids. | Use the exact property address when contacting the Water & Sewer office. |
| Selling or moving out | Contact Water & Sewer for account-specific closing or final bill steps. | Do not assume service ends automatically; confirm account handling. |

What to Do If Your Kentwood Water/Sewer Bill Looks Too High
A high Kentwood water/sewer bill can come from outdoor watering, a running toilet, dripping faucet, irrigation leak, meter reading change, sewer charge, previous balance or a real plumbing leak on the customer side of the property line.
| High-bill clue | Possible reason | First action |
|---|---|---|
| Usage suddenly increased | Running toilet, hidden leak, irrigation issue or seasonal outdoor water use. | Check toilets, faucets, outside spigots, irrigation and meter movement. |
| Bill increased after move-in | Prior account timing, service address setup, estimated/actual usage or occupancy change. | Call 616-554-0734 and ask for account/billing explanation. |
| Meter or pipe damage suspected | Frozen pipe, frozen meter, damaged meter or customer-side pipe issue. | Use the frozen pipe/meter page and call Kentwood Utilities at 616-554-0734 if meter damage is suspected. |
| Water quality plus high usage | Leak, pressure issue, flushing work or household plumbing problem. | Document details and contact Water & Sewer with date/time, location and account information. |
