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
- (304) 292-8443, listed by MUB as the 24/7 emergency/customer-service number; the FAQ also lists (304) 296-4322 for after-hours emergencies. Use the emergency contact for active leaks, main breaks or loss of water.
- Leak-adjustment policy
- MUB publishes water and sewer leak-adjustment policies under Customer Service Policies, but the reviewed public FAQ does not reproduce the full current formula. Customers should report the leak, repair it, retain licensed-plumber or parts receipts and submit the requested account information to MUB for review; approval and any consumption baseline or cap depend on the applicable MUB policy and tariff.
- Utility assistance program
- MUB offers deferred-payment support, including a Medical Necessity Deferred Payment Plan. A medical professional must submit a certificate, and MUB staff negotiate an arrangement; it is not a bill waiver and the customer remains liable for water, wastewater and stormwater charges. The reviewed pages do not identify a fixed senior or disabled-veteran credit cap.
- State and federal aid connection
- The reviewed MUB pages do not publish a dedicated LIHWAP application URL or charity tie-in. Customers with inability to pay should call (304) 292-8443 before termination notice issuance to discuss the Deferred Payment Plan and any current West Virginia assistance referral.
