Ask for the exact policy
Confirm the form, filing deadline, eligible repairs, calculation method, and payment expectation during review.
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
- 770-957-6659, the Authority's verified main contact and emergency route in the reviewed official material.
- Leak-adjustment policy
- The reviewed HCWA rules provide a bill-error and meter-test complaint process rather than a published automatic leak-credit formula. Customers must present a claim before the bill becomes delinquent; a special meter reading costs $50 unless the meter was over-read, and a meter test is charged at actual cost unless the meter over-registers by more than 3%. The reviewed pages did not state a repair-receipt mandate or standard leak-adjustment cap.
- Utility assistance program
- Connecting Henry administers an HCWA Charitable Assistance Program funded by customer donations. Eligible Henry County households may receive help with past-due HCWA bills if they have had water service for at least six months, experienced unexpected hardship within the prior 60 days, and provide income and hardship documentation. Assistance depends on available funding and has no fixed cap in the reviewed page.
- State and federal aid connection
- The verified local charity route is Connecting Henry's HCWA Charitable Assistance Program. The reviewed HCWA pages did not publish a dedicated Georgia or federal low-income water-assistance portal.
