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
- (850) 891-4968 or 711 TDD, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week for faulty water/sewer lines, water or sewer repairs, and other utility emergencies.
- Leak-adjustment policy
- The current Tallahassee customer pages advise customers to call the City or a plumber when a bill rises unexpectedly and identify customer responsibility for plumbing between the meter and home. The pages reviewed do not publish a numeric residential leak-credit percentage, qualifying threshold, or universal repair-receipt formula. Customers should report the issue promptly, repair the customer-side leak, preserve plumber invoices and meter/usage information, and ask Customer Operations whether an account-specific billing adjustment is available; the City separately processes ordinary billing credits/refunds when an approved adjustment creates a credit.
- Utility assistance program
- Tallahassee offers WRAP, a free 2026 weather-relief payment plan for residential electric, water, or gas customers: one eligible January 1–February 28, 2026 peak-winter bill can be divided evenly across the next four utility bills. Budget Billing is also available after six months at the address; it averages the preceding 12 months and adds 5% to set the next year's level payment. Qualifying low-income and disabled residential customers may apply for Project Share through Capital Area Community Action Agency at (850) 222-2043. Income-based retrofit grants can provide up to $500 for approved home repairs, including hot-water leak work, following a City audit.
- State and federal aid connection
- Project Share is locally administered through the Capital Area Community Action Agency, which screens qualifying low-income and disabled customers; the current City page does not provide a direct LIHWAP application URL or guaranteed federal-water credit. Customers should ask CACAA and City Customer Operations about active state/federal energy or water-assistance funding, use the City's financial-assistance links, and confirm whether an award is paid directly to the utility.
