- Leak-adjustment policy
- Ann Arbor accepts a Leak Adjustment Request. The meter must not have been accessed, tampered with, or turned on/off by anyone other than a City employee in a way that caused water loss. Eligible excessive use is charged at an incremental/discounted rate; while the request is processed the customer remains responsible for the full bill under normal payment terms or must request an agreed payment arrangement. The reviewed page does not expose the exact current formula or cap.
