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
- 512-218-5555 for water or wastewater emergencies, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The City’s water guidance directs customers to this line for suspected meter-box or service-line leaks and other water/wastewater emergencies; 512-218-5460 is the weekday billing-inquiry number.
- Leak-adjustment policy
- Round Rock offers a courtesy adjustment for a qualifying leak on the customer’s side of the meter. The leak must be repaired before the request is filed, and the customer must submit the written Leak Adjustment Request Form within 90 days of repair with proof such as a professional plumber’s invoice or receipts for parts and materials when the customer performed the repair. The adjustment is based on excess water consumption rather than a requested dollar percentage, is limited to one month of the leak period, and only one adjustment is allowed per account in a 12-month period. Irrigation overuse, broken irrigation heads, incorrectly programmed irrigation, pool leaks or auto-refill systems, a hose left running, and meter tampering are excluded. Customers must continue paying while the request is reviewed because nonpayment can still trigger interruption; after all affected bills are generated and documentation is complete, processing can take up to 30 days, followed by an email when an approved credit is applied. The public page does not state a separate formula for converting excess gallons into the final credit.
- Utility assistance program
- The City does not publish an internal recurring low-income water-credit cap or a utility-funded senior discount in the current billing materials. It does offer written late-fee waivers for residential customers over age 60, subject to the stated 25-day limit, and customers experiencing hardship may contact Utility Billing about payment arrangements. Assistance referrals include the Round Rock Serving Center at 512-244-2431, St. John Vianney Catholic Church at 512-218-1183, and the Society of St. Vincent de Paul at 512-255-2330; each organization independently determines eligibility, funding, appointment availability, and any benefit cap.
- State and federal aid connection
- Round Rock’s public Utility Billing pages refer customers to local charitable assistance providers rather than describing a City-run LIHWAP or federal water-assistance intake workflow. Customers should contact the Round Rock Serving Center, St. John Vianney Catholic Church, or the Society of St. Vincent de Paul directly to ask about current funding and eligibility, and should contact Utility Billing for payment arrangements while an outside application is pending. No current utility-specific state or federal application URL, matching process, or automatic crediting rule is published on the City pages reviewed.
