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
- 262-636-9185 is the 24-hour emergency number for water main breaks and water utility emergencies. General water utility and billing support is 262-636-9181. The City’s water page identifies 101 Barker Street, Racine, WI 53402 as the Water Utility operating address.
- Leak-adjustment policy
- The Racine filed operating rules state that charges for water wasted due to leaks are governed by Wisconsin Administrative Code PSC 185.35 or the applicable Schedule X-4, but the public customer pages reviewed do not publish a separate step-by-step residential credit formula, proof checklist, or one-time adjustment cap. The property owner is responsible for the service lateral from the curb stop to the point of use, and failure to repair a leaking or broken lateral after notice can result in water being shut off until repairs are complete. If a meter cannot be read, Racine may issue an estimated or minimum bill and later correct it when the meter is read; customers should call 262-636-9181 for a leak or high-bill review.
