Leak relief and household assistance

A high water bill may have a path to review

Hidden plumbing failures can produce an alarming bill before the problem is visible. This guide separates what WEST JORDAN CITY WATER SYSTEM publicly describes from the practical steps every customer can take while requesting help.

Provider-specific review

What the public record says about a leak adjustment

West Jordan directs customers who have fixed a water leak to submit the official Leak Adjustment Request Form for account review. The public water page does not state a fixed percentage, cap, number of billing periods, or receipt checklist; customers should retain repair invoices, photographs, and dates of detection and repair when submitting the form and wait for the city’s account review rather than assuming an automatic credit.

Stop the loss

Shut off the failing fixture or supply and arrange a qualified repair.

Keep proof

Save dated invoices, parts receipts, photographs, and meter readings.

Request review

Submit the request promptly and keep paying any undisputed amount.

Utility assistance

Customer assistance and eligibility

West Jordan’s voluntary Utility Hardship Program is limited to city residents whose gross household income is below 150% of federal poverty guidelines or who have experienced a life-changing event or significant income reduction. Assistance is capped at $300 and limited to once per year; payment is sent directly to West Jordan City. Priority goes to customers with a disconnect notice or an already disconnected service. Utah Community Action, 1307 S. 900 W., Salt Lake City, 801-359-2444, administers applications.

State and federal connections

Where to ask for broader aid

The city’s FY 2026 budget says low-income residents may qualify through Salt Lake County’s Circuit Breaker Relief Program for the first 7,000 gallons of water. For short-term utility-bill hardship, West Jordan refers customers to Utah Community Action at 801-359-2444 and utahca.org; the city’s own $300 fund is community-funded and paid directly to the city.

Leak and assistance notes

Build the file before asking WEST JORDAN CITY WATER SYSTEM for relief

A high bill can have several causes, including a hidden plumbing failure, irrigation use, a meter issue, a change in occupancy, or a rate adjustment. The provider’s leak policy determines whether any credit is available; an unusually high bill does not automatically qualify.

Keep a dated record of the reading, the suspected source, the repair, the contractor or parts receipt, and the return to normal use. Ask whether the utility requires a specific form, a licensed repair, a meter test, photos, or a request within a fixed number of days.

For income-related difficulty, ask about local assistance, payment arrangements, state programs, and community referrals separately from a leak adjustment. These programs often use different applications, documents, funding limits, and deadlines.
