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
- 1-800-732-9678 is available 24/7 for Aquarion emergencies, including leaks and water-service problems. Customer-service representatives handle non-emergency billing weekdays 8:00 a.m.-5:30 p.m.
- Leak-adjustment policy
- Aquarion’s customer-care material instructs customers to compare current CCF usage with the same billing period and the usage history shown on the statement, then investigate dripping fixtures or hidden leaks. Connecticut tariff rules allow a one-time adjustment for an undetectable leak when billed usage is at least three times the average for the same billing periods over the prior three years; the customer must repair the condition and submit the request under the applicable division’s rules. Because the utility now operates under the Aquarion Water Authority, the current portal or customer-service team should confirm required invoices, receipts, deadlines, and the final credit math.
- Utility assistance program
- Aquarion’s customer-protection programs include the Low-Income Rate Assistance Program (LIRAP), a Voucher Program, and flexible payment plans. The new Aquarion Water Authority states that existing protections remain active; the reviewed public pages do not publish one universal 2026 voucher-dollar cap, senior discount, or disabled-veteran reduction.
- State and federal aid connection
- Aquarion publishes local financial-assistance programs and flexible plans, but the reviewed current pages do not expose a dedicated Connecticut LIHWAP application URL or federal award cap. Customers should contact 1-800-732-9678 and use the current authority’s assistance links to coordinate state or local aid before shutoff.
