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
- 203-562-4020, available 24/7 for water-service emergencies. Non-emergency customer care is Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.
- Leak-adjustment policy
- RWA's high-bill guidance tells customers to stop all indoor/outdoor use, inspect the meter leak indicator, and compare readings one to two hours apart without using water. The authority's public pages focus on diagnosis and Water Watch usage monitoring rather than publishing a universal credit percentage or receipt deadline; customers should contact 203-562-4020 or ask.billing@rwater.com to request account review.
- Utility assistance program
- RWA offers a Residential Water Assistance program for qualified customers and has provided local assistance funding. The reviewed pages do not state a universal current award cap, senior discount, or disabled-veteran reduction.
- State and federal aid connection
- RWA's FY2024 public material reports $230,000 in assistance provided through LIHWAP participation. Customers should use RWA's current Residential Water Assistance pathway and Connecticut assistance channels; the reviewed pages do not expose a current standalone LIHWAP application URL or fixed 2026 cap.
