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
- (407) 944-5000 for 18-digit accounts and 24-hour water/sewer emergencies; customers with legacy 8- or 9-digit accounts may use (407) 957-7344. Toho asks customers to report leaks, breaks, hydrant damage, water-quality concerns, or sewer issues before hiring a plumber so the authority can evaluate whether a contractor is necessary.
- Leak-adjustment policy
- Toho provides a usage-credit/high-bill review route rather than an automatic credit. The customer should first check the meter and fixtures, contact Toho promptly, and provide the account number, dates of unusual use, and documentation showing that the private-side leak was repaired. Toho may inspect or evaluate the usage history and apply the authority’s approved usage-credit calculation if the event qualifies; the public pages do not state that every leak is eligible or publish one universal percentage reduction. Customers should not delay payment while waiting for review unless Toho has placed an approved hold or payment arrangement on the account.
- Utility assistance program
- Toho lists the Toho Assistance Program (TAP), payment extensions, and service-area assistance arrangements for customers experiencing financial hardship. St. Cloud customers may use St. Cloud Cares, administered with the Osceola Council on Aging; the City directs applicants to call 407-846-8532. Public materials do not state one universal 2026 annual credit cap for every Toho customer, so eligibility, amount, and duration must be confirmed with Toho or the local administering partner.
- State and federal aid connection
- Customers needing help should contact Toho before cutoff for a payment extension or customized arrangement and should also use the City/County referral network. Toho and St. Cloud materials direct qualifying residents to the Osceola Council on Aging emergency water-bill assistance pathway at https://osceolagenerationsapps.org/services/emergency-water-bill-assistance/ and to United Way 2-1-1 for broader household assistance. The City of Kissimmee also offers utility/rental-deposit assistance through its Housing and Community Development Division; applicants must verify city limits and submit identity, income, and financial documentation.
