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
- 972-412-6201 for after-hours water or sewer emergencies. Utility billing is 972-412-6105 during Monday-Friday 7:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m.
- Leak-adjustment policy
- Residential customers may request a courtesy adjustment for a qualifying customer-side leak after supplying proof of the actual leak and repair; documentation does not guarantee approval. The City uses the prior year's same-month consumption, or the prior six-month average if fewer than 12 months exist, and limits the adjustment to 50% of leak-attributable consumption at the billed rate for no more than two months. Only the consumption attributable to a short-term or AMI-pinpointed leak is considered; sprinkler, pool, pool-equipment, toilet and other noticeable above-ground leaks are excluded, and commercial and irrigation-only accounts are ineligible. Adjustments are limited to once in a rolling 12-month period.
- Utility assistance program
- The reviewed Rowlett utility pages do not identify a City-run senior, disabled-veteran or fixed-income water-credit cap. Customers with billing difficulty should contact Utility Customer Service before delinquency; the City also maintains a public-assistance-agencies link.
- State and federal aid connection
- The reviewed City pages link public-assistance agencies but do not publish a Rowlett-specific LIHWAP application URL or a named local charity water-assistance workflow. Contact Utility Customer Service at 972-412-6105 for current referrals and use the Texas benefit program currently in force rather than relying on an unverified third-party payment site.
