Fix the leak first Leak adjustment is for customers who performed water repairs in their home.
Keep receipts Repair receipts are necessary for processing the leak adjustment.
One adjustment limit Jefferson Parish says customers are only given one leak adjustment in a 12-month period.
Adjustment type varies Depending on the repair type, a percentage of sewerage usage and water usage may be deducted.
Check toilets first. Toilet flappers are a common leak source. Use the dye/coffee/tea test described by Parish resources.
Check the water meter. Turn off faucets and check if the meter is still running. Recheck after a couple of hours for slow-moving leaks.
Check appliances and outside lines. Look at washing machine, water heater, irrigation, hose bibs and wet ground.
Repair quickly and save proof. Keep plumber receipts, repair date, photos and notes.
Contact Utility Customer Service. Call 504-736-6060 during business hours and ask about leak adjustment requirements for your account.

Calling after-hours line for normal billing The after-hours emergency line is only for water problem or leak reporting. Call 504-736-6060 during business hours for bill or account questions.
