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
- (972) 466-3425, 24/7 after-hours emergency assistance for water main breaks, sewer backups, leaking hydrants, low water pressure, and after-hours restoration. Regular Utility Customer Service is (972) 466-3120.
- Leak-adjustment policy
- Carrollton requires a Certification of Water Leak Repair form within 90 days of the bill reflecting wasted water, including a leak description, proof of payment for repairs, and any required permit. No adjustment is made until a full leak-free billing period occurs. A repair requiring a permit can be denied if the permit is not obtained within 30 days of notice. A customer may receive one adjustment in 12 months or two in five years; if the leak did not enter the sewer, the adjustment is limited to 60% of the difference between the affected bill and the average of the same month in the prior two years. If it entered the sanitary/storm sewer, the limit is 50%; irrigation-line leaks are limited to 40%. No adjustment is provided after six billing periods, and the adjustment cannot exceed the City’s actual water cost.
- Utility assistance program
- The City does not publish a universal recurring water-credit cap in the reviewed pages. Customers facing hardship can request a 14-day portal extension and may be referred to local social services that assist with utility payments after their eligibility criteria are met.
- State and federal aid connection
- Carrollton’s reviewed customer pages provide local social-service referrals and payment-plan options but do not identify a City-run Texas or federal water-assistance application URL or direct charity processing workflow.
