Provider-specific findings
Relief research for this provider
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
- (626) 336-1307 is the published Industry Public Utilities Waterworks emergency and customer-support number. The waterworks page instructs customers to use it for water emergencies, leaks, breaks, outages, and water-service assistance. The page does not publish a separate 24/7 after-hours number, so callers should use the same line and call 911 for an immediate life-safety emergency.
- Leak-adjustment policy
- Customers should compare the current and prior meter readings printed on the bi-monthly bill, check toilets, irrigation, valves, and indoor fixtures, and document the meter reading while all fixtures are off. The reviewed public waterworks pages do not publish an automatic private-leak credit formula, repair-receipt deadline, percentage reduction, or lifetime cap. A customer should submit a written bill review promptly, include dated repair invoices, photographs, meter readings, and post-repair usage, and request an account investigation. The SB 998 policy preserves service while a timely bill appeal or review is pending; it is a bill-accuracy appeal, not a guaranteed leak-adjustment credit.
- Utility assistance program
- The waterworks pages do not publish a senior discount, disabled-veteran rate reduction, or fixed customer-assistance credit. Residential customers meeting the SB 998 medical, financial, and payment-plan conditions can receive protections from discontinuance and may be offered an amortization schedule, alternative schedule, temporary deferral, or reduction of unpaid balance. A qualifying reduction may be up to 30% without Board approval, while the selected plan can run up to 12 months or a deferral can last up to six months. The utility may require documentation and reviews each request individually.
- State and federal aid connection
- The City's policy treats CalWORKS, CalFresh, general assistance, Medi-Cal, SSI/State Supplementary Payment Program, and California WIC as evidence of household income below 200% of the federal poverty level, or a customer may declare income below that threshold. The customer must also demonstrate medical hardship where applicable and agree to an alternative payment arrangement. The reviewed Industry Waterworks pages do not publish a dedicated LIHWAP application URL, county charity tie-in, or direct federal-grant workflow; customers should contact (626) 336-1307 and check current California and Los Angeles County assistance resources.
