- Leak-adjustment policy
- The reviewed City material indicates that customers should dispute or request an adjustment when an unusually high bill is caused by a leak, but the current public page did not expose the repair-proof requirement, formula, deadline, frequency limit, or cap. Customers should document the repair, meter use, and bill and contact Water Services.
