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
- 586-469-5502 after hours for water and sewer emergencies; regular Water & Sewer/DPS service is 586-286-9300. The Township also lists Macomb County's 24-hour emergency pollution hotline at 1-877-679-4337 for pollution incidents.
- Leak-adjustment policy
- Clinton Township provides leak-detection and water-usage resources and allows deduct meters for qualifying outdoor uses, but the reviewed current pages do not publish a universal residential high-bill leak-credit percentage, repair-receipt checklist, averaging formula or cap. Customers should document the meter reading, repair the leak and contact DPS at 586-286-9300.
- Utility assistance program
- Clinton Township partners with water-payment assistance organizations and links a Water Residential Assistance Program (WRAP) application. The reviewed page does not publish a universal credit cap or separate senior/disabled-veteran reduction.
- State and federal aid connection
- The Township's current Water & Sewer page directs customers to the local WRAP application but does not identify a direct LIHWAP intake. Customers should use WRAP and Michigan 2-1-1 for current state or charitable assistance referrals.
