Contact ANRA as soon as possible to schedule a “bucket test” to determine if your water meter is working correctly. If the bucket test indicates that the meter is working properly, customers are encouraged to conduct a home water leak test.
- Shut off ALL water fixtures in your home, including faucets, toilets, water filters, appliances, irrigation system, etc.
- Locate your water meter. If the meter is still turning, then you probably have a leak. Verify that everything in your home is shut off properly before re-checking your water meter. If the meter continues to turn, then you have a leak and should contact a plumber to assist you in locating and repairing the leak.
If you cannot pay your bill due to a water leak, contact ANRA to apply for a Water Leak Adjustment. Your bill must exceed 200% of your annual water use average to qualify for a Water Leak Adjustment. To be eligible, documentation of the leak and a Water Leak Adjustment Request Form must be submitted within 30 days of the water bill mail out date as noted in ANRA records. Customers are allowed one leak adjustment per property within a 12-month period and will be credited 50% of the eligible water bill amount to their account.
If you cannot pay your bill for a different reason, contact ANRA to apply for a Hardship Agreement. Customers are allowed two hardship agreements per property within a 12-month period. The account balance due will carry over to the following month’s bill.
If you have any questions, please contact ANRA at 1-800-282-5634 or accounting@anra.org
