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
- (954) 746-3500 for late-night and weekend water/gas emergencies. After-hours water and gas reconnections and emergencies Monday–Friday 5:00 p.m.–11:30 p.m. use (954) 888-6087. During business hours call (954) 746-3232.
- Leak-adjustment policy
- Sunrise explains that it reads the meter monthly and calculates usage as the current reading minus the prior reading. Customers with an unusually high bill should inspect fixtures and compare the current reading with the prior month, then contact Public Service at (954) 746-3232. The City has a wastewater cap alternative for pool filling and irrigation rather than a universal hidden-leak reimbursement formula; its public pages do not publish a single repair-receipt checklist, filing deadline, or guaranteed percentage credit. Customers should document the leak, repair, meter readings, and dates and request the City’s written billing-adjustment procedure.
- Utility assistance program
- Sunrise promotes conservation rebates and the Broward Water Partnership’s ConservationPays program, including water-saving devices and low-flow-toilet rebates. No recurring senior, disabled-veteran, or low-income water-bill credit cap is published on the current utility billing pages. The wastewater cap for residential consumption is 12,000 gallons, and pool/irrigation relief is handled through that cap rather than an automatic credit.
- State and federal aid connection
- Sunrise’s current utility pages do not identify a direct LIHWAP application or City-administered federal water-assistance benefit. Customers needing help should call 2-1-1, contact Broward County community-action agencies, and request a City payment arrangement before the 45-day disconnection threshold. ConservationPays is a Broward regional conservation/rebate program, not a delinquency grant.
