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
- 937-781-2678 is the 24-hour emergency number for main breaks and sewer backups.
- Leak-adjustment policy
- Montgomery County allows a one-time leak adjustment when a higher-than-normal bill results from an eligible leak and the water did not enter the sanitary sewer. Eligible examples include service-line leaks or leaks inside walls; toilets, appliances, faucets, valves, and sump pumps do not qualify. The customer must repair the leak and provide documentation and proof of repair with the request form. The County also separately supports pool adjustments using a rented hose-bib meter.
- Utility assistance program
- The County offers payment plans if the customer calls before the due date; staff divide the bill into three equal installments, with the first due when the arrangement is established. The reviewed pages do not publish a fixed credit cap.
- State and federal aid connection
- The County directs customers needing help to local resources including Veteran’s Services and St. Vincent de Paul; no dedicated federal water-assistance application was identified.
