Question

If I am not enrolled in the Leak Protection Program and I have a leak, why should I still have to pay sewer charges if my water did not go down a drain?

Answer

If water leaks outside of the home there is still likely chance the water will go through the perimeter drain tile system of your home and ultimately end up in the sanitary sewer system. Also, all sanitary sewer revenues are based upon water usage. We do not have a separate meter to detect the amount of waste water leaving your home or business. Finally, the Leak Protection Program is a means to help rate payers while also reducing the number of appeals to the Utility Committee.
