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) 822-2210, the City’s 24-hour dispatch number for after-hours or water/sewer emergencies. The customer-service number for account issues is (561) 822-1300.
- Leak-adjustment policy
- West Palm Beach Ordinance 4819-18 allows an adjustment when a leak on the customer side of the meter was not caused by an act or omission of the customer and needed repairs were made within seven days of discovery or receipt of the bill. The credit may cover 100% of water and sewer usage charges above the average billing, using a minimum four-month and maximum twelve-month average, for one billing cycle only and no more than once in 36 months; the Public Utilities Director has final approval. Meter-inaccuracy adjustments use the same average-billing approach.
- Utility assistance program
- The current public City pages do not identify a senior, disabled-veteran, or monthly affordability credit with a published cap. The City’s water-conservation programs offer customer conservation materials, while deposit rules provide an account-credit path after 12 consecutive on-time months for eligible single-family residential accounts.
- State and federal aid connection
- No separate state or federal water-assistance application is identified on the City’s current utility pages. Customers should contact City Utility Billing, 2-1-1, or local assistance providers for household aid and use the City’s payment-plan process when a balance is delinquent.
