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
- After-hours emergency water turn-off and sewer-overflow calls go to 903-798-3850. During Monday–Friday 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m., water main leaks, sewer backups, fire-hydrant leaks, emergency turn-off requests, and related operations issues go to 903-798-3880; Customer Service is 903-798-3800 option 3. Call 911 for immediate life-safety danger.
- Leak-adjustment policy
- TWU confirms that a customer may receive a discounted sewer rate for documented water loss that did not originate from a toilet, sink, or bathtub issue, with valid proof of repair. The customer should stop or repair the leak, retain the plumber/parts receipt and repair date, compare the portal’s consumption history, and contact Customer Service at customerservice@txkusa.org or 903-798-3800 for the current adjustment process. TWU’s public pages do not publish a universal formula, gallon threshold, cap, or maximum number of billing periods; the Utility evaluates the proof and adjusts the eligible sewer component, not necessarily water, garbage, infrastructure, Riverbend, or tax charges. For an active utility-side leak, use 903-798-3880 or the after-hours emergency number.
- Utility assistance program
- TWU’s published customer-service materials describe working with a customer to set up a payment plan when a leak creates a high bill, but they do not identify a recurring senior, disabled-veteran, or income-qualified monthly credit or fixed assistance cap. Customers should contact Customer Service before disconnection with the bill, account history, repair proof, and proposed payment ability; local Bowie County charities and 2-1-1 Texas may have separate assistance rules.
- State and federal aid connection
- TWU’s current public pages do not document an automatic LIHWAP/LIHEAP credit or internal federal water-assistance application. Households needing help should contact 2-1-1 Texas and local Bowie County/community-action agencies, provide the current TWU bill and eligibility documents, and tell Customer Service at 903-798-3800 that an assistance application is pending. Funding caps, eligible arrears, and whether a payment pauses cutoff are controlled by the administering program.
