Customer Water Leaks

Water Leak responsibility boundary

The City of Dallas offers a leak adjustment on customer side leaks:

All customer meters are connected to an MXU device. This device allows us to pull hourly readings and usage from our Sensus Analytics system in our office via satellite.

If a leak is detected, you will be notified. You have two weeks to repair it to qualify for a leak adjustment.  

Only one adjustment is allowed per year. The adjustment provides a credit on the two highest bills affected by the leak.

*Residential and Commercial Accounts: We adjust the sewer portion of your bill down to 6 month sewer average of previous normal bills. 

*Apartment Accounts: We take an average of the sewer on your last 6 normal bills and drop the sewer portion of two highest bills down to that amount.  

 
*We encourage our water customers to utilize our online portal where you can monitor your water usage by setting a daily threshold limit.
The moment you go over the set limit, you can opt in to receive an email, phone call, text or all three notifying you. 

 

If you recently had a leak repaired, please complete the Water Leak Adjustment Form.  

Please attach proof (materials receipt or repair invoice) as prompted.
