The notes below may document a route, rule, or explicit public-information limit. General preparation steps are not represented as utility policy.
- Emergency reporting route
- Call BWP Emergency Services at (818) 238-3778 for urgent water emergencies, leaks, main breaks, and other after-hours conditions. General account, billing, and service questions use (818) 238-3700 during business hours, Monday–Friday excluding holidays.
- Leak-adjustment policy
- BWP’s public pages provide water-usage graphs, meter-reading questions, conservation information, and customer-service review but do not publish a guaranteed private-leak credit percentage, repair-receipt deadline, historical-average formula, or lifetime adjustment cap. Customers should check the BWP meter and premises, stop and repair the leak, retain invoices and readings, and contact (818) 238-3700 promptly for a bill investigation or payment arrangement. A credit should not be assumed without written BWP approval.
- Utility assistance program
- BWP Project Share provides income-qualified customers a one-time bill credit of up to $250 once per calendar year. BWP also offers payment plans, Budget Billing for customers with a year of excellent credit, Lifeline and Life Support enrollment, and conservation rebates. Project Share eligibility and funding are subject to the current application and income limits; call (818) 238-3700 for the 2026 cap and documentation.
- State and federal aid connection
- BWP’s payment-options page directs customers to the Home Energy Assistance Program, California LIHWAP, Burbank Temporary Aid Center, and Salvation Army. Customers can request a Pay Plan for temporary hardship and should apply for LIHWAP through https://www.csd.ca.gov/lihwap or its designated local provider. Call BWP at (818) 238-3700 before shutoff so assistance or an installment plan can be coordinated.
