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
- 877-987-2782 for Aqua's 24/7/365 customer service and dispatch, including water-quality and service interruptions; the Ohio page does not publish a separate Mentor emergency number.
- Leak-adjustment policy
- Aqua Ohio publishes a leak-adjustment form and states that Aqua may grant a credit when a major leak occurs on the customer's service line, requires repair, and causes a significant excessive increase in consumption. The exact Ohio/Mentor formula, percentage, documentation deadline, and cap are contained in the applicable form/tariff rather than the accessible page text; customers should submit the form with repair proof and contact 877-987-2782.
- Utility assistance program
- Aqua's Customer Assistance Program uses federal income guidelines, requires a residential Aqua account, household information, proof of income, and the account number, and applies approved discounts within 1-2 billing cycles. Customers with past-due balances can receive monthly credits of up to $40 toward older balances when monthly payments are made; income must be recertified to continue.
- State and federal aid connection
- Aqua identifies federal-income-guideline CAP assistance through the Dollar Energy Fund: apply at hardshiptools.org, call 1-888-282-6816 Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m., or use participating community organizations. Aqua's affordability page states LIHWAP funds are available for Aqua customers in Ohio and other listed states, subject to current funding and eligibility.
