LEAK ADJUSTMENTS
The water department grants one leak adjustment a year. The year begins when you receive your adjustment. (example: You receive an adjustment in May of 2014 your will not be able to take another adjustment until May of 2015.)
These adjustments are based on a 6-month’s average including the leak month.
The adjustment is based on consumption and not the monetary transactions. If the customer makes his usual payment during the leak month, all penalties will be adjusted as well as the consumption.
