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
- 615-794-4554 for water leaks and service/repair requests during the Water Management Department’s published service hours, generally 7:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. except holidays. The City also accepts an online service request at any time; the reviewed pages do not publish a separate after-hours water emergency number.
- Leak-adjustment policy
- Franklin provides a courtesy leak-adjustment form for leaks in customer-owned water distribution systems. The applicant identifies the provider, account and leak address, leak type, repair date, and whether the repair was completed by a licensed plumber or by the customer, and must attach a repair receipt. The form states one adjustment per account in a 12-month period and no adjustment for a leak occurring within 12 months of the repair date; the exact bill-reduction formula and maximum dollar cap are controlled by the City’s leak-adjustment policy and are not reproduced on the public form.
