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
- Carrollton Public Works emergency line (972) 466-3425 is published as 24/7 for water leaks, water-main breaks, leaking fire hydrants, low pressure, sewer backups, and after-hours restoration. The daytime Utility Customer Service number is (972) 466-3120.
- Leak-adjustment policy
- Carrollton requires a Certification of Water Leak Repair form, a description of the leak, proof of payment for repairs, and a copy of any required permit within 90 days of the bill reflecting wastage. No adjustment is made until a full leak-free billing period occurs. Eligibility is limited to one adjustment in any 12-month period or two in any 60-month period; pool-system leaks are excluded, and a leak not repaired within six billing periods receives no adjustment. If the leak did not return to the sanitary or storm sewer, the adjustment is 60% of the difference between the affected bill(s) and the average of the two prior years' same-month water charges. If it returned to a sewer, the limit is 50%; irrigation-line leaks are limited to 40%. The policy also adjusts the winter-quarter sewer average when qualifying wastage occurred during the determination quarter.
- Utility assistance program
- Carrollton offers a 14-day payment extension through the online portal and states that customers with long-term difficulty may be referred to local social services that assist with utility payments after eligibility screening. No City-funded senior, disabled-veteran, or fixed monthly water-credit cap is published in the current utility materials. Customers should contact Utility Customer Service at (972) 466-3120 to request the applicable local referral.
- State and federal aid connection
- The City does not publish an automatic LIHWAP or state/federal water-aid interface. Customers with ongoing hardship should request the City's local social-services referral, call 2-1-1 Texas, and check the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs Help for Texans portal at https://tdhca.texas.gov/help-for-texans. Any agency pledge should be coordinated with Utility Customer Service before the 10-day interruption window expires.
