Buying or renting a house with established service?
You must STILL fill out the application (see link above) to establish service in your name. The new occupant(s) will still be required to issue to us a $200.00 deposit, and, as long as they remain in good standing with us, that $200.00 will be returned (minus any fees owed) at move-out time.
Once your meter is installed, or established in your name:
You will be responsible for a monthly charge of $55.00, incrementing as shown in the chart at the bottom of this page. Note: even if you use NO water, you are responsible for the $55.00 service and monthly fee.
Late Fees:
Effective with the August 2020 billing cycle, the following late fees will be applied. If paid after the due date, and your first occurrence, a $10.00 fee will be applied. A second month will incur a late fee of $25.00, and every month after that will be an additional $50.00. If it is necessary to turn off and lock your meter due to non-payment, a service charge of $75.00 trip fee is assessed. If you are late, without making arrangements with our office, your meter is also subject to removal. Removal of a meter for non-payment will incur an additional charge of $400.00, which can be turned over to our legal representation for collection, if needed. To re-establish service after that meter has been removed is an additional $600.00, due up front, with all additional charges, before water service is resumed. Each service call to perform these tasks is an additional $75.00 trip fee for our technicians.
Customer request for meter removal: (for meters not used) Occasionally a property will have a meter on it without a current resident or housing unit. It is your responsibility, if purchasing such a property that you DON’T need water on to pay the normal $55.00 monthly fee, or pay to have the meter removed. To remove such a meter, it is $3000.00.
Customer request for meter change-out: (for non-faulty meter) Once in a great while, a customer may request a meter change-out to a new meter, even after every test has been made and the meter is determined to be working fine. This will be $350.00.
Plumbing inspections for new properties: $300.00. Contact the office for the proper form, and contact our Inspector, who will do the 3 inspections needed for Amon Carter Lake Water Supply. ALL THREE INSPECTIONS MUST BE DONE BY OUR INSPECTOR IN ORDER TO RECEIVE WATER.
