Important information about turning on your water service

Open Fixtures

When water service is off at a home or business, fixtures can be turned on and unknowingly left in the on position. If this happens, water will begin flowing when we turn on your service, posing a potential risk of flooding. For this reason, we strongly recommend that someone is present when we turn on your water.

If no one is present and our technician suspects an open fixture based on movement of the water meter's flow indicator, the technician will leave your water service off and we will reschedule your service activation. (If we revisit after normal business hours at your request you will be charged $55.00 for an after hours service call.)
