Common Letters and Notices – Metered Accounts

Once we have read water meters before utility billing, we may send out notices.

A zero consumption notice means the water meter has not recorded any water consumption since the last meter read.

A continuous flow notice means that water has been noted as running continuously over a certain period. This could be 3 days up to the entire period between the two water meter reads. This could indicate a small leak somewhere in your house such as a toilet.

A water meter deficiency notice means we had issues with getting an accurate water meter reading. Please contact our office to schedule an inspection.

For more information on connections, meters and user fees, or to arrange to have your water turned on or off, please contact the Engineering Services Department at [hidden] or email at [hidden]a
