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
- 909-798-7681, Redlands Police Dispatch, press 0, for after-hours emergency water service. Routine water information, start/stop service, meter/street leaks, and sewer questions use 909-798-7516.
- Leak-adjustment policy
- Redlands offers usage history and service-order history in RedConnect and routes water-usage, meter, and street-leak questions through Customer Service. The reviewed public materials do not publish a universal high-bill leak-credit formula, repair-receipt mandate, deadline, or cap. Customers should document consumption, meter readings, and repair invoices and request a billing investigation at 909-798-7516; City-side leak reports should be separated from private plumbing repairs.
- Utility assistance program
- Redlands’ Utility Bill Assistance Program provides a $20 credit toward a bi-monthly municipal utility bill, once per calendar year, for eligible customers; it is not retroactive and is limited to the first 1,000 eligible applicants who submit verified applications. The reviewed page does not identify a separate senior or disabled-veteran discount.
- State and federal aid connection
- The City documents a local Utility Bill Assistance Program application through Customer Service but does not document direct LIHWAP administration or a separate state/federal water-assistance URL. Customers should contact 909-798-7516 for current eligibility and any county/state referral.
