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
- 915-594-5500, press 5, 24-hour emergency hotline.
- Leak-adjustment policy
- For a qualifying hidden leak increasing usage more than 10 CCF, submit an email request within 60 days of repair with account/address, leak and repair details, high-bill dates, and a later normal-usage bill. One adjustment may cover up to two consecutive monthly bills, equals 50% of the average standard usage baseline, and is limited to once every 24 months; it applies only to water, not sewer/storm/environmental charges.
- Utility assistance program
- AguaCares offers up to a $250 water-bill credit once per year for eligible customers facing hardship and disconnection, normally with a payment arrangement; AguaRepairs supports qualifying owner-occupied leak repairs.
- State and federal aid connection
- EPWater's verified local assistance route is AguaCares; no separate 2026 federal/state grant posting process was exposed.
