Preserve the evidence

Ask for the exact policy
Confirm the form, filing deadline, eligible repairs, calculation method, and payment expectation during review.
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
- 540-853-5700 is the published Authority contact; the reviewed pages do not expose a separate 24/7 leak-only number.
- Leak-adjustment policy
- The Customer Web portal provides daily or hourly consumption views and alerts. WVWA publishes an inside-leak adjustment policy, but the reviewed current page did not expose every threshold and formula; customers should report promptly, document the repair, and ask Customer Service which form and usage baseline apply.
- Utility assistance program
- Customer Cares and local Valley agencies assist customers who cannot pay. The reviewed pages do not state a fixed annual credit cap; customers should contact the Authority to discuss assistance or payment plans.
- State and federal aid connection
- The reviewed WVWA pages emphasize local Customer Cares and Roanoke City/County agency referrals rather than a dedicated state or federal water-benefit portal. Contact the Authority for current referrals.
