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
- 830-774-8636 after hours. Utility Billing also lists 830-774-8550 and 830-774-8505 for billing concerns; the City's leak policy and form are linked from the Utility Billing page.
- Leak-adjustment policy
- Del Rio publishes a Water Leak Adjustment Policy and form, and a pending leak adjustment protects the account from disconnection while reviewed. Customers should submit the form with repair documentation, meter/usage evidence, and the affected billing period; the exact formula and cap are in the linked City policy document, which was access-blocked in this review and should be confirmed with Utility Billing.
- Utility assistance program
- The payment-arrangement policy provides a senior-citizen option for customers age 65 and older: for arrears over $100, the current bill plus $50 toward arrears is used in the arrangement. No recurring senior or disabled-veteran rate credit cap is documented in the accessible pages.
- State and federal aid connection
- No municipal LIHWAP/LIHEAP intake URL is documented. Del Rio households should call 2-1-1 Texas and Val Verde County/community-action agencies, and notify Utility Billing before disconnection so an approved pledge or payment arrangement can be recorded.
