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
- Utility Department 830-665-2206; the City/Metro contact is 830-663-2926. The reviewed page does not identify a separate 24/7 water-main emergency hotline.
- Leak-adjustment policy
- Bill adjustments are authorized only by the City Administrator and only once per calendar year. An adjustment may be made to the sewer bill when the sewer average was affected by a water leak. The customer must submit a written request with proper receipt showing the leak was repaired, and the request must be made during the same billing period as the repair. The current application does not publish a numerical formula or dollar cap.
- Utility assistance program
- No current Natalia senior, disabled-veteran, or income-qualified water-credit program or cap is documented in the reviewed City utility materials.
- State and federal aid connection
- No municipal LIHWAP/LIHEAP workflow is documented. Natalia households should call 2-1-1 Texas and Medina County/community-action agencies, then provide any approved assistance pledge to the Utility Department before the 25th cutoff date.
