SAWS High Water Bill and Leak Adjustment Help
SAWS says customers with an unusually high bill caused by a leak on their property that has since been repaired may be eligible for a credit adjustment covering part of the excess water loss. The adjustment is not automatic, and SAWS says it has no legal obligation to grant one, but it may work with customers when conditions are met.
| High-bill situation | Possible reason | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Bill suddenly increased | Running toilet, irrigation leak, underground service-line leak or fixture leak. | Check all fixtures and compare water use in My Account if available. |
| Leak was repaired | Excess water may have been lost before repair. | Save plumber invoice, parts receipt, photos or written proof of repair. |
| Past-due account | High bill plus unpaid balance may require payment plan review. | Call SAWS and ask about both leak adjustment and payment plan options. |
| No visible leak | Toilet flapper, irrigation valve or hidden pipe leak may still be active. | Turn off fixtures, check meter activity and inspect toilets first. |
