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
- 704-920-5555, Customer Care, for 24/7 water/sewer emergencies and utility service; weekday general assistance is 7:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m.
- Leak-adjustment policy
- Concord automatically enrolls eligible customers in its Water Loss Protection Plan unless they opt out. The standard 3/4-inch residential fee is $0.50 per month, with graduated fees for larger meters; industrial customers are excluded. A participating customer may receive a 100% leak adjustment once in a 24-month period after providing proof of repairs. The adjustment removes the billed water-leak charges and restores usage to the customer’s average-use baseline; the program does not cover pool filling, irrigation, or customer misuse. Opting out prevents future leak assistance, and re-enrollment has a 90-day waiting period.
- Utility assistance program
- The primary utility assistance is the Water Loss Protection Plan rather than a senior or disabled-veteran rate reduction. Concord also offers payment agreements and a Neighbor Helping Neighbor resource; the reviewed materials did not state a separate recurring utility-credit cap.
- State and federal aid connection
- The reviewed Concord utility pages do not state a local LIHWAP or other state/federal water-assistance intake process. Customers are directed to payment arrangements, Neighbor Helping Neighbor, and City customer-care resources for current assistance referrals.
