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
- 561-243-7312, the City’s emergency after-hours utility number. Utility Billing/customer service is 561-243-7100 Monday–Friday 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.; the City directs customers to the emergency line outside those hours for urgent utility problems.
- Leak-adjustment policy
- Delray Beach’s current public billing pages do not publish a complete universal concealed-leak adjustment formula or repair-receipt checklist. Customers should inspect the meter and fixtures, preserve plumber/repair documentation, and contact Utility Billing with the account number and affected billing dates for a bill inquiry. The City’s utility billing function handles leak adjustments and can review abnormal consumption, but the public 2026 pages do not specify a fixed credit cap or sewer/water allocation.
- State and federal aid connection
- No direct LIHWAP application URL or federal water-assistance cap is published on the current Delray Beach utility pages. Residents should contact Palm Beach County 2-1-1/community-action agencies, local charities, and City Utility Customer Service while requesting an arrangement before disconnection.
