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
- (561) 338-7339, Utility Services emergency phone; the Public Utilities page also lists (561) 822-2210 for water and sewer emergencies and 24-hour dispatch.
- Leak-adjustment policy
- Boca’s leak-credit ordinance allows an adjustment when a leak on the customer side of the meter was not caused by the customer and repairs were made within seven days of discovery or receipt of the bill. The City may credit 100% of water and sewer usage above the average billing, using a minimum four-month and maximum twelve-month average, for one billing cycle only and once every 36 months; the Public Utilities Director has final approval.
- Utility assistance program
- The City does not identify a municipal monthly senior or disabled-veteran water discount with a published cap. Boca Helping Hands provides utility assistance to qualified residents in crisis and requests a past-due water bill, final notice, or disconnection notice; award limits are determined by that charity.
- State and federal aid connection
- The City’s public pages point customers to Water Billing and local assistance rather than a dedicated state/federal water-aid application. Boca Helping Hands is a local charity tie-in; customers should contact it with the past-due or shutoff documentation and contact the City before service is disconnected.
