Leak relief and household assistance

A high water bill may have a path to review

Hidden plumbing failures can produce an alarming bill before the problem is visible. This guide separates what City of Pomona Water Resources Department / Utility Billing publicly describes from the practical steps every customer can take while requesting help.

Provider-specific review

What the public record says about a leak adjustment

Pomona provides water-meter reading, field inspection, and bill-review processes but the reviewed current pages do not publish a guaranteed private-leak credit percentage, repair-receipt deadline, historic-average formula, or lifetime cap. Customers should stop and repair the leak, retain invoices and meter readings, and contact Utility Billing promptly; any adjustment is subject to the City’s current water-meter test and SB 998 procedures.

Stop the loss

Shut off the failing fixture or supply and arrange a qualified repair.

Keep proof

Save dated invoices, parts receipts, photographs, and meter readings.

Request review

Submit the request promptly and keep paying any undisputed amount.

Utility assistance

Customer assistance and eligibility

The reviewed Pomona utility pages do not expose a fixed senior, disabled-veteran, or monthly low-income water credit. Customers may request payment arrangements and should contact Utility Billing before a discontinuation notice deadline; any approved schedule is account-specific.

State and federal connections

Where to ask for broader aid

Pomona’s reviewed pages do not publish a dedicated LIHWAP intake URL or charity tie-in. Customers should call (909) 620-2241 before shutoff and check California’s current Low Income Household Water Assistance Program at https://www.csd.ca.gov/lihwap and Los Angeles County resources.

Leak and assistance notes

Build the file before asking City of Pomona Water Resources Department / Utility Billing for relief

A high bill can have several causes, including a hidden plumbing failure, irrigation use, a meter issue, a change in occupancy, or a rate adjustment. The provider’s leak policy determines whether any credit is available; an unusually high bill does not automatically qualify.

Keep a dated record of the reading, the suspected source, the repair, the contractor or parts receipt, and the return to normal use. Ask whether the utility requires a specific form, a licensed repair, a meter test, photos, or a request within a fixed number of days.

For income-related difficulty, ask about local assistance, payment arrangements, state programs, and community referrals separately from a leak adjustment. These programs often use different applications, documents, funding limits, and deadlines.
