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
- Hixson customer service: (423) 877-3513. The reviewed official pages do not publish a separate 24-hour emergency number; sewer issues are routed to the provider listed on the bill.
- Leak-adjustment policy
- Hixson's leak policy considers an adjustment when the current bill exceeds 150% of the highest bill during the last five billing periods and the customer verifies to the ServLine program's satisfaction that a leak occurred between the meter and house and was repaired. Water Loss Protection covers eligible increased water charges for one bill per 24-month period, with no deductible; customers should call to decline coverage or submit a claim. Sewer adjustments must be requested from the sewer provider.
- Utility assistance program
- Hixson automatically enrolls residential customers in Water Loss Protection at $1.40 per bill; optional Water Line Protection is $7.50 per bill and covers repair/replacement up to $10,000 with no annual limit. These are protection programs rather than an income-based rate discount; no senior or disabled-veteran reduction was verified.
- State and federal aid connection
- The reviewed Hixson official pages do not identify a LIHWAP application or charity water-aid partner. Customers should ask Hixson about payment arrangements and contact their sewer provider for sewer-specific assistance.
