Conservation is the best means to reduce your water bill. Installing low flow fixtures and appliances are often possible measures. You can also reduce water use by limiting watering and following other conservation methods as described in our water conservation brochure. Water pipes or toilets leaking can increase water use significantly. Toilet leaks in particular can be very hard to locate. The Utilities Department has dye tablets available which you can use to check for leaks. If a leak is discovered in your house or on your property, contact a plumber immediately to identify and repair the leak. If this procedure is followed, you may be able to obtain a water leak adjustment to your bill under certain circumstances. If the leak requires the water to be turned off in order to fix it, call Town Hall at 540-338-7421 or after hours call the Town emergency number 540-338-7700. Any damage caused to the meter may be charged to you. Problems detected with Town water and sewer lines should be reported during business hours. |
