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
- (303) 790-4830 for ACWWA customer service and water-quality matters. The public pages reviewed do not publish a separate 24/7 emergency hotline.
- Leak-adjustment policy
- ACWWA's uncontrollable-water-usage policy allows a customer to submit a letter describing the leak or other uncontrollable event, the solution method, and the repair date. If ACWWA approves, it may credit the difference between the original tier and a lower tier based on the property's prior usage; ACWWA controls the credit amount. Proof of repair, such as service and/or parts receipts, is required, and the request must be submitted within 12 months of repair. Credits over $3,000 or incidents older than three months may require Board approval; late fees continue unless the problem is corrected by the agreed date.
- Utility assistance program
- The reviewed ACWWA pages do not publish senior, disabled-veteran, or low-income bill credits. Conservation and uncontrollable-use credits are account-specific; the leak policy caps routine administrative approval at $3,000 or three months unless the Board approves otherwise.
- State and federal aid connection
- The reviewed ACWWA pages do not publish a Colorado LEAP/LIHWAP water-assistance application or federal award-posting workflow. Customers should contact ACWWA and separately confirm current county, state, and nonprofit assistance.
