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
- For after-hours water or wastewater emergencies, call police dispatch at 830-257-8181. Water Distribution lists 830-258-1221 for department service and identifies 830-257-8181 as the emergency number; Water and sewer problem contacts include water leaks at 830-257-4668 and sewer blockage/overflow/drainage at 830-896-2687. Utility Billing account service is 830-258-1504.
- Leak-adjustment policy
- Kerrville states that Texas law requires billing for all metered water, but as a courtesy Utility Billing will consider a leak-related account adjustment case by case; the adjustment is not required by City ordinance. A customer should stop or repair the leak, document the repair and dates, retain invoices or plumber records, review usage history, and contact Utility Billing at 830-258-1504 to request review. The public FAQ does not publish a standard mathematical formula, cap, proof checklist, or filing deadline, so any credit and sewer treatment must be confirmed for the account.
- Utility assistance program
- Kerrville’s official FAQ names St. Vincent de Paul at 830-896-6898, 1145 Broadway, Kerrville, TX 78028, and Christian Assistance Ministry at 830-257-4222, 521 Barnett Street, Kerrville, TX 78028, as utility-bill assistance resources. The City’s utility pages do not identify a recurring municipal senior, disabled-veteran, or income-qualified rate reduction or an internal credit cap. Customers should contact these organizations and Utility Billing before cutoff because the charities’ eligibility and payment limits are separate from the City account.
- State and federal aid connection
- The reviewed Kerrville utility pages document local charity referrals but do not describe automatic LIHWAP/LIHEAP integration, a federal application handled by Utility Billing, or a cutoff hold while an application is pending. Households should contact 2-1-1 Texas and Kerr County/community-action resources, provide the current bill and any notice, and notify Utility Billing at 830-258-1504. Eligibility, award caps, arrears coverage, and payment timing are controlled by the administering organization.
